Disciples of Christ Camps
CYF Camp
Age: High Schoolers Price: $420
June 20th - 25th
Us in the World
A searching faith is the stage for high school students. They need an open, honest caring atmosphere and community in which to explore a variety of ideas and feelings. They require groups in which they are sufficiently secure to run the risks associated with questioning and self-exposure. Each one leaves feeling empowered to make a difference in the world.
Mid - Winter
Mid-winter is a chance for high-schoolers to retreat before getting back into the swing of school for the spring semester.
The Regional Youth Cabinet not only plan out the activities but they also make their own curriculum for this retreat.
Look forward to seeing your camp friends in the winter and connecting with them!
CYF's Socials
Jenna Engelken, Co-Director
Hi! My name is Jenna. I have gone to camp since day camp! I have lead on the Regional Youth Cabinet for 5 years. This is my third time directing CYF. Tall Oaks has been my home for many years and I even got married out there! I love meeting new campers and helping everyone feel welcome.
I work as an event coordinator and hope that my organization can help you create fun chaotic camp memories!
Christian Youth Fellowship or CYF is a camp led by their peers, the Regional Youth Cabinet. This is a week long camp to detach from the world and spend time in community, nature and one another.
CYF includes activities like square dance, talent show, surprise big event, dance, and a team building low ropes activity.
This camp encourages the regional youth cabinet to lead the camp as well as worship and the schedule. Adults and counselors are there to support and help lead empowering conversations to help build faith and community.
Tristan Jordan, Co-Director
My name is Tristan Jordan and I have spent my summers at Tall Oaks since the mid 2000s! I believe that everyone has something to offer! Be that in art, music, humor, story telling, or sport; spirituality finds its way into our lives from all different angles, and I cannot wait to explore that with you! My day job is ensuring that their are amazing people filling in for teachers who are feeling under the weather. In the evenings I am a broadcaster for high school and collegiate soccer! I love to play, perform, and teach! I cannot wait to see you at camp!
About RYC
Regional Youth Cabinet
"RYC was a way for me to extend my faith outside of church with a group of phenomenal people who always offered constant support in whatever way I needed it. RYC plans as well as facilitates CYF camps for oth midwinter and summer camp. We join in meetings at least once a month all year long to connect spiritually with our fellow RYC members and to put on the best camp we possibly can." - Jacob Steitz
