Camp Registration at La Foret is Open!
Thinking about sending your youth to camp this summer? Be sure to check out all of the great sessions happening at La Foret! Here’s an overview of all that your kids can experience this summer:
- Explorer Camp (Grades 3-6), happening July 5-11th, 2026: Explorer Camp provides an incredible community experience for children entering grades 3-6! (This is the first year that Explorer has included 3rd grade, as previously, 2nd and 3rd graders could only attend the now-discontinued Pioneer camp). Supported by trained counselors and staff, campers will engage with nature, form friendships, and explore their personal beliefs, all with an emphasis on fun! The week will include activities like campfires, swimming, arts and crafts, outdoor games, free time, a ropes course, and worship. Click here to learn more and register.
- Voyager Faith & Science Camp (Grades 6-8), happening July 12-18th, 2026: At Voyager, youth are given the opportunity to be their truest selves and build a community of authenticity and support, which is often elusive around the preteen years in school. Spirituality and science have for too long been seen as opposite ends of a spectrum, when really they are more like two lenses through which we can view the mystery and majesty of the universe. Albert Einstein said that the more he studied the universe the more he believed in a higher power. When you really get into the coolest and most cutting edge science, you can’t help but stand back in awe at the magic of it all! But don’t worry, all the fun and exploration built through generations of camp will still be there! Trained counselors and staff will set the stage and hold space for a memorable week filled with laughter, music, reflection, self-exploration, and don’t forget the ropes course! Youth will form memories and friendships they’ll hold dear for the rest of their lives. Click here to learn more and register.
- Music Art Drama Dance (MADD) Camp (Grades 9-12), happening July 12-18th, 2026: Music, Art, Drama, and Dance (MADD) Camp is an amazing week of intentional community and creativity. We believe that the arts and creative expression are incredible tools for experiencing and growing in our spirituality. ALL artistic skill-levels (really!) are present and welcome at MADD Camp. Along with engaging youth in intellectual faith conversations, we attempt to get youth “out of their heads” and into experiencing God (or the Holy, Divine, or transcendent) through creativity, nature, friendships, self-discovery, games, activities, and LOTS of fun. We find these moments to be the most powerful in helping young people to develop a lifelong faith, and a foundation of belief in themselves. Like all of our camps and retreats for youth, MADD is an expansively welcoming and open environment. Trained staff help guide youth in engaging with their spirituality on their terms. The Refuge camps and retreats create a safe, brave space where youth can ask questions, explore their faith, and connect more deeply to themselves, each other, the earth, and the Holy – whatever that means to them.
