YOUR STUDENTS. OUR COMMUNITY. ONE PURPOSE.
To know Christ and share His love.
Since 1987, Camp Kurios has been providing youth with a summer camp experience centered on Christ. The Greek word, Kurios, means Lord, and from the beginning, our purpose has been to be a vessel for the love of Jesus through the unique experience of youth summer camp.
Camp Kurios is made possible by churches, families, and volunteers who come together to create an intentional Christian community where students can have fun, build friendships, worship, learn, and grow in their faith.
We'd love for your church to be part of it.
WHY KURIOS?
At Kurios, the experience is about more than the activities. Our counselors, recreation leaders, craft teachers, and Bible teachers work together to make each session both enjoyable and spiritually enriching.
Students experience:
CHRIST-CENTERED COMMUNITY
A welcoming environment where students are surrounded by Christians who are committed to sharing the love of Jesus.
BIBLE & WORSHIP
Age-appropriate Bible teaching, worship, prayer, and opportunities to engage with their faith.
FRIENDSHIPS
Time and space to form meaningful friendships through teams, activities, cabins, meals, campfires, and free time.
FUN & MEMORIES
Games, swimming, crafts, campfires, talent shows, tournaments, and other activities that make camp a week students look forward to every year.

HOW CAN YOUR CHURCH BE INVOLVED?
SEND
Invite the students in your church to experience Camp Kurios.
Whether you bring a large group or send a few students, Kurios is designed to give young people a week where they can grow in faith, build friendships, and experience Christian community.
SERVE
Camp Kurios depends on Christian volunteers who are willing to give their time and gifts to serve students.
Our volunteers serve as counselors, recreation leaders, Bible teachers, craft teachers, and in many other roles throughout the week.
PRAY
Prayer is an essential part of Camp Kurios.
Pray for our campers, families, volunteers, churches, and directors as we prepare for each summer session. Pray especially that students would encounter Christ and that the community created at Kurios would encourage them in their faith.

We want bringing your students to Kurios to be as straightforward as possible.
