Camps
One week can change the direction of a kid's life. Here's every camp we run, who it's for and how to get your kid signed up.
Camp is the single most effective week on our calendar. Away from screens, schedules and pressure, kids and students hear the gospel clearly, build friendships that carry them through the school year and often make the biggest spiritual decisions of their lives.
Every OSC camp is led by our own pastors and background-checked adult leaders, with a low leader-to-camper ratio, campus-based transportation and a nurse on site. Registration opens in the spring and camps fill quickly, so lock in your spot early with a deposit.
Cost should never be the reason a kid stays home. Scholarships are available at every campus, and they are funded entirely by people in our church family who give to camp.
Why camp matters
Led by our team
Your campus pastors and leaders are with your kid all week , not strangers.
Safety first
Background-checked leaders, a nurse on site and a low leader-to-camper ratio.
Real decisions
Most students who follow Jesus at OSC first said yes at camp.
Nobody left out
Scholarships and sponsorships cover kids who can't pay their own way.

Parent questions
When does registration open?+
Registration for all camps opens in the spring and stays open until camp fills. A deposit holds your spot; the balance is due two weeks before departure.
How do we get there?+
Buses and vans leave from and return to your home campus. Drop-off and pick-up times are emailed the week before camp.
Can my kid room with a friend?+
Yes , request roommates at registration. We keep campus groups and grade levels together whenever we can.
What if we can't afford camp?+
Ask your campus pastor about a scholarship. It's a short, private conversation and no kid is turned away for cost.
How do you communicate during the week?+
We post daily photo updates and send a text if anything needs your attention. Leaders are reachable the entire week.
