2024 Student Camp Theme

RECONCILED: FROM REBEL TO REDEEMED 

II CORINTHIANS 5:18-20  

DAY 1: CONVERSION- WE WILL LOOK AT THE CONVERSION OF SAUL – WHO WOULD SOON BE RENAMED PAUL – AND DISCUSS HOW WE TOO CAN EXPERIENCE THIS LIFE CHANGE, AND WHAT WE ARE TO DO ONCE THIS CONVERSION OCCURS. 

DAY 2: CONSEQUENCE- WE ARE BROKEN PEOPLE AND THIS BROKENNESS LEADS TO CONSEQUENCE. WE WILL EXAMINE THE COVENANT HUMANITY IS UNDER WITH GOD, THE HOPEFUL MESSAGE WE RECEIVE THROUGH IT, AND THE CONSEQUENCE OF DISOBEDIENCE. 

DAY 3: CONTENT- THERE IS ONLY ONE SAVING HOPE – ONE SAVING MESSAGE. TODAY WE WILL EXAMINE THE GOSPEL, DEFINE WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR US, AND LOOK AT THE CONTENT OF SCRIPTURE THAT LEADS TO EVERLASTING LIFE. 

 DAY 4: CALL- WE HAVE RECEIVED GREAT NEWS THIS WEEK, SO WHAT ARE WE TO DO WITH IT? TODAY WE WILL DISCUSS THE CALL THAT GOD HAS GIVEN HIS PEOPLE. WE ARE CALLED TO BE AMBASSADORS OF CHRIST, TO PROCLAIM HIS SAVING MESSAGE TO THE WORLD. 

DAY 5: COURAGE- WE WILL END THE WEEK BY FOCUSING MORE CLOSELY ON THE LIFE AND MINISTRY OF PAUL, ON HOW DEEPLY GOD CHANGED HIM, AND WHAT WE CAN LEARN FROM PAUL WHEN IT COMES TO OUR OWN PERSONAL LIFE AND MINISTRY.

Crossings Ministries is based in Louisville, KY and has been offering student camps for 20 years at two beautiful camp properties in central and western Kentucky. 2019 was a record year with over 16,000 in attendance across all Crossings’ camps. Our mission ensures that our camps keep the good news about Jesus at front and center: “We create experiences to proclaim the Gospel.”

The need is ever-present for safe places for students to hear the Gospel proclaimed, engage in biblical teaching, and experience Christ-centered worship. Our heartbeat is to help the church reach the students in Generation Z with the hope of the Gospel, the joy of caring relationships, and the abiding power of God’s Word. We look forward to working with you and your students!

We do our best to accommodate each of our guests and any food allergies by serving buffet style along with having an extensive fruit and salad bar. We also have many types of dry cereals that are available at every meal. We feel that serving buffet style allows our guests to choose from the items that are safe for them to eat.
With the many types of food allergies, we can not guarantee that cross contamination won’t occur or that one of our vendors might substitute a product due to their supply. Due to the amount of meals that are served each day, it is also difficult to cater meals for each individual, many with different allergies.
It is for these reasons that we suggest for guests with severe food allergies to store any special meals in a refrigerator located in their lodge so there is not a chance of illness or allergic reaction. If someone in your church groups requires a refrigerator to store supplementary food, please notify the Skycroft office in advance. We do have a commercial microwave at the entrance of our dining room where the meals can be reheated. This allows for the guest to choose from items on our buffet or salad line and still have the assurance of a safe meal.

FAQ’s

How many adult leaders should I bring?

An important aspect in the ministry of Crossings is the relationships that students build with the adult leaders from their church. Crossings requests one adult for every five students (gender specific) in order to facilitate discipleship between students and adults that will extend beyond camp. As your students will be looking for guidance from the adults that come with your church, it is important that you bring adults who are at least 21-years-old, maturing Christians, and can be examples to your students and lead them spiritually.

What if I have a student with food allergies or a dietary restriction?

What is the dress code at camp?

We ask that all students and adults dress modestly. For females and males, shorts need to be longer than fingertips when arm is extended down the side of leg. We do not allow spaghetti strap tank tops, any tops where undergarments can be seen, or any shirts with the sides cut out. Swimsuits should be one piece; if a female has a two-piece they will be asked to wear a dark t-shirt over their swimsuit. For both males and females, shirts must be worn at all times when walking to and from the lake/pool.

Closed-toe shoes are required for games and mission sites.

What age ranges can attend student camp?

Student camp is for students entering 7th grade through graduated seniors.

Can parents come and visit?

In a typical camp season, parents can visit during worship and meal times with visitor approval from Crossings/Skycroft. However, for the safety of the overall camp population in summer 2021, no visitors will be allowed on campus this summer except approved supply vendors for deliveries only. 

Should my students bring spending money?

The majority of activities offered at camp are included in the registraion price.

However, there are a few free-time activities that have a nominal cost to participate. Students may want to bring spending money to purchase snacks or gear in HeBrews coffee and ice cream shop, which is open during afternoon and evening free time. Students will also have the opportunity to give to a missions offering during worship one night.

What amenities are available at Skycroft?

Outdoor pool, water slide, zip line, Bazooka Ball, paintball, GaGa court, 9-Square in the air, human foosball, a snack bar/gift shop, hiking trails, basketball courts, corn hole, and much more!

What should campers bring?

A detailed packing list will be provided in the Spring to all registered groups.
