“NEW LIFE”

For this weekend at camp, we want to help our youth learn what it means to have New Life. One of the beauties of Springtime is we get to experience new life blooming on plants that were previously in a season of dormancy. With Floral Jam being a Springtime retreat, we want to take this opportunity to dive into God’s Word to see biblical examples of what it means to have new life that blooms for Christ. We pray that each person attending Floral Jam will meet with Jesus wherever they are in their life’s journey, and that they may flourish in their relationship with Christ.

First time at a Suncrest weekend retreat? Here’s what to expect.
From Friday evening to Sunday morning, campers will have an awesome time with both old or new friends. From big crazy games unlike anything you could experience elsewhere to conversations around a bonfire, there are plenty of chances to have a fun-filled weekend that you’ll remember for years!

During services and cabin times youth will learn about the one true God who created them, loves them, and sent His son Jesus so that they may be saved.

Friday, May 17th - May 19th
Friday Drop-Off is from 6:00-6:30 PM.
Pick-Up is Sunday at 12:30 PM.
Both drop-off/pick-up are in The Tab, the big gray building you’ll see when you pull into camp.

Floral Jam is for youth in Grades 6th - 12th.
Campers who are 18, but are still in high school
are now allowed to attend Floral Jam.
Cost: $75

A couple reminders for parents:

  • Please have your child eat dinner before arriving.

  • Please let us know if you will be dropping your child off after the above drop-off time. You can email us at suncrestyouthcamps@gmail.com

Sam Hutchison is the Youth Pastor at Greenville Alliance Church located in Greenville, PA. Sam’s wife (Maggie) and daughter (Lucy) are very involved with him in his ministry role in Greenville. Sam has been a camp counselor for years and has directed a couple youth retreats as well. He grew up attending Suncrest Camp from elementary school through high school. Sam met Jesus at Suncrest Camp when he was in middle school and still believes Jesus will meet others there today. He is very much looking forward to Floral Jam and can’t wait for May 17th. 

joe ward

Joe attends Chippewa Alliance Church, where he has served in youth ministry in recent years. He loves being at Suncrest Camp, because he has seen Jesus changes lives again and again. He can often be found walking around with a mug of coffee, or sitting around in our pavilion teaching kids how to play Slaps, the standard camp card game. He'll teach you how to play, but won’t teach you all his secrets!

  • Clothes and shoes that you can run around in

    • Be prepared for different weather conditions, including wet grounds at camp.

  • Cash for snacks/drinks at The Snack Shack

  • Bedding for Twin Mattress (Sheets/Blankets/Sleeping Bag) and Pillow

  • Toiletries and Towel

New to Suncrest, or new to weekend retreats? Here’s a few things you need to know.

  • It can get cold at night.
    As this is retreat is in the second half of May, weather will hopefully be pretty nice. However, please keep in mind that we have no heated facilities at Suncrest Camp. This is not a problem for us at camp, we just want people to come prepared. We recommend packing an extra blanket, extra hoodie, and an extra pair of shoes in case one pair gets wet.

  • You can arrive late if you have after-school activities.
    Registration/drop off is officially 6:00-6:30pm, but we often have campers with after-school commitments. If you have to get to the camp late Friday night, or Saturday morning, that’s fine! If you have a Saturday or Sunday commitment, those can be accommodated, too. Just let us know so we can plan accordingly! Please email us at suncrestyouthcamps@gmail.com if you plan on coming late.

  • Youngest & oldest campers are not in the same cabins.
    Our camp events have been open to both junior high & senior high students for years now, with combined age groups. The way we facilitate this is by splitting the campers into different cabins based on different age tiers, with counselors assigned to the age groups they’re best suited for. So, 6th-graders & 12th-graders alike can have age-appropriate cabin time discussions.

  • We accept walk-on registrations.
    If you know for sure that you’re coming, we recommend that you sign up, ASAP! (Sign-up BEFORE April 30th to guarantee that you get a Floral Jam shirt!) However, we also do accept walk-ons. So, if you find out last minute that you can come, then, come on out! And, don’t stop inviting your friends until you’re at Floral Jam yourself!
