June 6-9
Panama City Beach, FL
Laguna Beach Christian Retreat

THE BEST WEEK OF THE YEAR. Join us for one of our favorite student ministry events on June 6-9 in Panama City Beach, FL!

We will have powerful worship and preaching, small groups, and a rec competition to determine who wins this year’s CAMP CHAMPS.

Draft Party will be on May 7th at 6:30 at the South Campus
940 Main Street, Gardendale, AL 35071

COST: $495*

We will take 300 students and 50 leaders to Laguna Beach Christian Retreat in Panama City Beach, FL. We rent out their gulfside dorms and Moses House. Click the button below to see LBCR.

Throughout the four days that we are at Laguna, students will spend time in worship sessions, powerful sermons, small groups, free time (pool, basketball, ice cream shop, etc.) and rec. We will have 9 teams made up of our students and they will compete for CAMP CHAMPS!

There is a total of 5 free time hours spread across each day.  They have 4 areas that we allow them to go: pool A, pool B, Beach, and Dorm Rooms.  We have leaders and parents spread through all outdoor areas and the dorm rooms.  Free time is given in two 2-hour increments and two 30-minute increments.  Student are not allowed to leave the campus.

We will have six charter buses taking students down to PCB and back. If you know that your student will not be on the bus either time, please email Sydney.

Students will be put on teams during our draft party on May 14th. Once we are at Beach Week, they will only spend about an hour or two each day with their teams. We do not change teams or switch people on teams. Rooms will be placed with friends and grades. Their small group will be either their grade/gender or their room. Rooming will not be announced until we get to camp.

At LBCR, there is an ice cream shop, cafe and gift shop. They will need money if they plan to buy anything from there. They will also need money for lunch on the way to and from camp.

During rec sessions, we ask for everyone to wear their team colors. You can never be too over the top!! Please no glitter or feather boas. Also, if you are painted up you cannot get in the pool. We also ask that girls wear tankinis, one pieces, or if they only have two pieces to cover up with a tank top. This is due to the fact we are very active with games and events at camp. This is always the safe call. 

When we are in worship sessions, students must be in a shirt, shorts/pants and shoes of some kind. You cannot be wet when you come in for worship.

Lastly, we will have dress up theme nights every night of camp. These are also nights where everyone goes all out for their costumes. Theme nights are currently TBD.
