Youth Breakaway Camp 1 & 2
About
Breakaway Camp is an annual 5-day (4 night) summer camp for teens, purposefully designed to provide opportunities for students to explore faith in an environment suited for spiritual growth and the development of meaningful relationships with peers and mentors, amidst all sorts of excitement. Breakaway continues to serve as a strategic tool for youth pastors to provide discipleship to their students and connect with their teens outside of the regular weekly routine. As many past experiences indicate, Breakaway has the potential to serve as a catalyst for spiritual growth for both individuals and groups.

About The Costs
Actual registration cost for this camp is $270 per student. The bus is the recommended method of travel, but if you’re in the area of Lewisporte as a family and prefer to drop off and pick up directly at the camp, feel free to do so with the awareness of Pastor Crystal. Read the Waiver/Permission document throughly to ensure you’re aware of proper pick up and drop off times.
If the $270 registration and $80 bus fee’s are too substantial for your current financial circumstances, please contact Pastor Crystal to discuss sponsorship.
