High School camp is space to be unplugged. A place to be who God created you to be, 10 days  to step away from the stress of school and life.

About High School 10 Day Camp

10 days to be in a unique place in our world. An electronics free zone, a place to develop life long friendships, and explore faith in a safe place. One of our most popular camps, 10Days of camp allows us to slow down, go deeper as we explore our faith and build friendships.

This is a chance to be a kid, sing songs, climb a mountain, roast a s’more and be part of a community will feed the soul of a high schooler. The daily opportunity to hang out with college students grounded in their faith, and consider it a privilege to dialogue with young people about their world back home or their faith.

Sonlight high school camps fill the most quickly, the biggest testimony of a program well run is the campers who return year after year.

Letter from the Leadership Team

Celebrating our 45th year, Sonlight has sought to be a community that lives out the Gospel in all that we do. Inspired by the mission, “Be with kids, and show them God”, we are grateful to be able to provide a space away for youth to simply be who God intends them to be. The Sonlight leadership team works diligently to provide creative and innovative ways to make this summer memorable, for both our new and returning campers, by thinking outside the box and learning more about current youth needs. Whether for a traditional resident camp or a Sonlight Adventures backpacking trip, we hope to make Sonlight a place of rest and joy for all who call it home. Thank you for entrusting us with the care of your camper – Sonlight continues its ACA accreditation so that our programs and facilities will be the best that they can be. We look forward to greeting you this summer with a warm “Welcome home!” and of course, fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies!
