July 30 – August 4, 2025

Teachers:

Worldview Camp 2025 offers something more and something different. It’s for students who are serious about strengthening their faith and having fun. This camp will motivate you to love God more and understand why the Christian faith and way of life are different from, and better than, other philosophies and religions. It will help campers “take every thought captive to obey Christ” and “destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God” (2 Cor. 10:5).

This year’s theme focuses on how a Christian worldview guides our beliefs, attitudes, and behavior on matters of ethics or morality.

Did you know:

• 51% of American teens claim to be Christian, but only 8% have beliefs and habits of a committed Christian.
• Just 51% of those who attend an evangelical church rely on the Bible as their primary source for moral guidance.
• 58% of American adults agree that “identifying moral truth is up to each individual: there are no moral absolutes that apply to everyone, all the time.” The percentage is 73% among the LGBTQ community.
• 46% of American Christians who believe that the Bible is the true and reliable word of God REJECT ABSOLUTE MORAL TRUTH.
• 25% of American teens are “disengaged” from the Bible, meaning that they are skeptical about, or never read, the Bible.
