zion summer camp

Golden Valley Camp | Volcano, CA

July 16–19, 2025


Get ready, because Camp Zion is BACK, and this year is going to be next-level!

This summer, we’re stepping into something powerful. BUILT DIFFERENT isn’t just a theme—it’s a calling! Inspired by Acts 1:8, "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." We’re believing that the Holy Spirit is going to move like never before, equipping students to live boldly and shine God’s light everywhere they go.

 

Our prayer is for Camp Zion to be a place of worship, transformation, and divine planting, where students experience the power of the Holy Spirit that builds them up to live boldly for Christ. Just as the Spirit empowered the early church in Acts, we are believing that students will leave Camp Zion fully equipped to live as witnesses, shining God’s light wherever they go.

 

Isaiah 61:3 serves as the foundation of this transformative journey: “To provide for those who grieve in Zion—to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.” 


At Camp Zion, we long to see lives changed as students:

• Worship in spirit and truth (John 4:23-24).

• Exchange ashes for beauty, mourning for joy, and heaviness for praise (Isaiah 61:3).

• Walk in the power of the Holy Spirit to be BUILT DIFFERENT and live as bold witnesses for Christ (Acts 1:8). 


Don’t miss this life-changing summer experience! Get ready for an unforgettable week filled with powerful teaching, powerful worship, deep fellowship, and Holy Spirit-empowered moments that will equip students to step into God’s unique calling on their lives.
