Why fuge Camps?
FUGE Camps offers the opportunity for students to step away from their normal, busy lives to focus on things that really matter. With the tagline “life-changing camps,” our desire is for students to experience the Lord either for the first time or in a new way at camp and for camp to become a spiritual marker in their lives! Everything we do is built around experiencing Biblical community, creating a fun environment where life change takes place!
Students must attend camp with their church group, and not individually. Check with your student pastor about specifics such as location, dates, and pricing. If your church is not planning to attend FUGE Camps, you and your family can come as a group. Be sure to check out our parent testimonials, FAQs, and Parent Pack for information such as a camp schedule, dress code, camp rules, and our theme and Bible study overview.
We can’t wait to see your student at camp this summer!
WHy should I send my child to FUGE Camps?
See what parents are saying about FUGE Camps
While my daughter attended FUGE Camps, she believed that God was calling her to missions. Two weeks later, I took her on her first international mission trip. Today, she is in Scotland as a HandsOn missionary with the IMB at just 18 years old. There is no doubt that God used that time at FUGE Camps, and called her to serve Him in big ways.

FUGE Camps has helped my children grow immensely in their walk with God. It’s where both of them gave their life to Christ. Our children look forward to camp every year.

There is no place like FUGE Camps. Fellowship, laughter, togetherness, learning, playing! For one week, my kids are truly in another “world” where they are given access to see and experience things differently. They are encouraged and cheered for by students and adults alike. Accepted. Listened to. Included. There really is a freedom found at camp that allows them to open their minds and hearts to the things of Christ.

Parent FAQS
Do I need to register my child individually for camp?
No. The Group Leader (church leader, youth pastor, volunteer, etc.) that is in charge of your child’s group coming to camp is responsible for registering the entire group.
Do I need to fill out any forms in order for my child to attend camp?
Yes! In order for your child to be able to attend FUGE Camps, the parent/legal guardian of that child must complete a Camp Waiver on behalf of their child. You can access the Camp Waiver HERE.
What is the age range for students to attend fuge camps?
FUGE Camps serves students who have just recently completed 6th grade through 12th grade.
Can my child’s dietary restrictions and/or food allergies be accommodated while at camp?
Many of our locations are able to accommodate food allergies and sensitivities. Please let us know ahead of time by emailing fuge@lifeway.com of any allergies so we can communicate them with our locations – we will let you know if they are not able to accommodate your child’s food allergy.
How does FUGE Camps handle medication at camp?
The Group Leader and Adult Sponsors are responsible for any medication brought to camp. FUGE Camps staffers are not permitted to dispense or administer medication of any kind to campers.
Can I come visit my child while they are at camp?
Safety is our #1 priority at camp. Please talk with your child’s Group Leader to have them inform your Camp Director about any visitors wanting to attend camp. Visitor restrictions may apply during your specific week of camp. Click here to view the Visitor at Camp Policy.
Does my child need to bring money with them to camp?
The FUGE Camps Store will be open throughout the week where students can purchase fun camp apparel and souvenirs. Depending on the camp location, there also may be snacks available for purchase by the location. There will also be a missions offering that they will hear about and can give to if they would like.
Is there anything specific that my child should pack?
Please refer to the packing list found in the Parent Pack. This year, our Mega Relay theme is NEON! Students, adults and staff are encouraged to wear their best NEON attire for a fun-filled relay. Dressing up for Mega Relay is NOT required. The FUGE Camps Dress Code is still enforced during Mega Relay.
My child lost something while at camp. What should I do?
At the end of each session, misplaced items that end up in the Lost & Found bin are showcased to Group Leaders in the hopes of returning them to their owner. Once churches depart camp, we discard dirty socks, dirty towels, and half-full water bottles. All other remaining items left at camp will be kept until the end of the summer. Any items still unclaimed by the end of the summer will then be donated. Please email fuge@lifeway.com for any inquiries on lost items at camp.
