Testimonials
"Camp is the most fun and exciting thing ever! I was born and raised a Christian, but it wasn’t until the summer that I went to camp for the second time where I decided I wanted to have a relationship with God. Camp opened my eyes to let me see what God was trying to show me. Not only did camp put me on the right path and teach me life lessons that actually applied to my life, but it was also super fun! I met so many new friends and grew a better relationship with the ones I already had. And it helped me grow closer to my small group. Camp changed my life for the better and is totally awesome and fun!"

"Camp is one of my favorite memories of the summer. Camp allowed me to meet new people and form new friendships with students from the other campuses I otherwise would not have met. But most importantly camp helped my faith grow and my love for Christ deepened. I would not have been able to go to camp without the church's support and the scholarship they were able to grant me, because without it I would not have the relationship that I have with God now. So I'm super duper grateful."

“As a student having the opportunity to attend Discovery Camp allowed me to encounter God in a new way. Through scholarships I was able to attend both camp and Worship Boot Camp which enabled me to serve in a new way and gave me the passion to become a student leader. The way leaders poured into me as a student has directly affected my desire to pour into the life of students.”

“Discovery Student Camp is an experience that cannot ever be missed, truly, I’ve been going to camp 4 years and thankfully my family has been financially stable to pay for it. Last year we couldn’t so for the first time we reached out to the church for a scholarship. Discovery and their fantastic team of leaders and student pastors not only helped pay but gave me a full scholarship to CAMP and I couldn’t say thank you enough. Not only does camp impact me but it allows my heart to be open and to listen to God and reconnect with him in ways I didn’t think I was ever capable of. I’m a junior now in high school and I still act like a little kid excited for camp. God is still working in me, and camp is a big part of that.”

The last few years were very hard for me and my family. My dad lost his job and almost lost his battle with Covid. During that time, my mom was working less on top of taking care of my dad and our family. It was very difficult for us as a family. That's when we started attending Discovery Church. I wanted to go to Discovery student camp but I wasn't sure if we would be able to afford to go. As we prayed, God provided a way through a camp scholarship for me to attend camp. Discovery Student Camp helped me to connect and grow in my relationship with God, with others, and I had a lot of fun. I'm so thankful for the blessing of a camp scholarship.
