Digging Deeper Youth Bible Camp

A 6-12th grade camp in Sturgis, MI for those wanting to grow in their relationship with God.

Digging Deeper Youth Bible Camp

June 15-19, 2026 | Sturgis Missionary Church

6th-12th graders of the community are in for an amazing summer camp experience studying the Bible, digging deeper into their faith, building relationships, and having fun at the same time! This event is planned and executed by individuals of area churches.

This year’s theme is, “It’s REAL!” We will be looking at themes such as “Real God,” “Real Truth,” “Real Life,” and “Real Faith,” some of which will be through an apologetical approach. Our hope is that by having extended time with God, students will have “aha moments that will give them a greater desire for God and the Bible.

Cost: $75 (early bird registration through May 4, 2026). $95 Regular price through June 4. Options available for full camp experience (overnight) or hybrid option (day camp / sleep at home).
