“This experience definitely challenged my relationship with the Lord. I realized just how shallow and superficial I was” – Shera Cooley, Cloverdale Baptist Church; Dothan, AL

who can come?

The Learn & Serve (L&S) summer camp is for mid-high and sr. high youth groups and their leaders. L&S is ecumenical, and all denominations and faith traditions are welcome.

L&S retreats can be scheduled any time that isn't summer! L&S is not just a program for youth - many college ministries participate, too! For more info, visit the retreats page.

“But I’m not in a youth group” or “My youth group is not going, but I still want to go.” That’s cool…we absolutely welcome individuals to register for the week of their choice.

“But our youth group is so small” – We can accommodate any sized youth group, or you may want to partner with another group in your community!

“This week opened their eyes to the world beyond their own”- Pam Wilfong; Bethel UMC; Sumter, SC
