This is not your typical camp experience, JHC offers students the opportunity to get away from all the distractions of the world and focus in on God for a full week.

JHC is full of fun with friends, great worship music by cutting edge worship bands, concerts by big name artists, powerful messages from nationally known youth speakers and great food! Students stay on campus in the dorms and get to experience what it might be like as a college student.

Costs typically range from $210.00-$235.00 for the entire week. This covers all registration fees, dorm rooms, food (3+ meals a day, all you can eat at that), concerts etc.

The gospel is the most important thing we can know. It is what Paul preached “as of first importance” in 1 Corinthians 15. It gives us hope in that God took action while we were dead in our trespasses and sins. We were helpless, hopeless and separated from God, but God did not leave us there. In love He has moved. The gospel is the story about God coming near through Jesus Christ. It is because of this action—the life of Jesus—that we can enter God’s presence, draw near to Him, and encourage others to do the same. God is the first to MOVE…and because He has, we can.

Starting this spring, over 30,000 students on 5 different continents will follow His lead and MOVE. You’re invited to one of over 24 five-day events being held all over the nation. MOVE is even held world wide to call the church to MOVE and tens of thousands of high school students to live for the sake of the gospel. Our goal is not just for you and your students to attend an event. Our goal is to be a part of God raising up 250,000 students to live for the sake of the gospel. We want students to reach out in their community for the sake of the gospel, to choose where they will work and what they do for the sake of the gospel. We want students to look NOW for opportunities to serve locally and globally for the sake of the gospel. Our hope is that students will look at their homes, high schools, and even where they go to college with the gospel in mind.

God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. ‘For in him we live and MOVE and have our being’ (Acts 17:27-38).

Every fall, just before school begins we spend an entire week just hanging out and having some fun. Each day brings a different event for the students. Activities often include: a trip to Cedar Point or Kings Island, the Columbus Zoo, water parks, movie night, bowling, cook-outs, and much more! Whatever the activity you are sure to have a blast.

Teen week typically takes place during the second week of August. Watch the youth page and newsletter for details.
