What We Do
We are a Summer Camp & Winter Conference put together by a collaboration of churches around Southern California. At SoCal Youth you will be impacted by powerful worship, preaching, and equipped with practical how-to’s. You will also experience immense amounts of fun alongside your peers and leaders.
SoCal Youth was dreamt up by Pastors Ben & Katie of Canvas Church San Diego. They had the desire to see not only the church they lead but all Southern California churches that have not been able to do a camp or conference on their own, to have the opportunity to do so. They partnered with a several churches in SoCal and began the journey to start SoCal Youth Camp & Conference.
SoCal Youth exists to EQUIP, EMPOWER, and ENCOURAGE the next generation to build the local church.
“Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.”

What do the students need to bring?
We ask that all students bring a small suitcase and a personal bag only. For more details on what to bring see the "Packing List" below in our resources.
Are cell phones/ devices allowed at camp?
Like most camps, we strongly encourage campers to leave cell phones and devices at home but leave the final decision to each church's Youth Leader/ Director. Our goal is not to enforce unnecessary rules but to eliminate distractions so students can fully engage and experience all that God has for them while at the same time realizing that students may use their devices for YouVersion, note-taking, and taking pictures. Regardless, we ask that all students honor their leaders by following the guidelines they set.
What not to bring:
All handheld games are prohibited, as well as drugs, alcohol, firearms, tobacco, vapes, knives, and fireworks.
How do I contact a camper? How does a camper contact me?
We recommend you get the contact info of your home church's Youth Leader should you need to contact your camper. If your student needs to contact you, any leader at SoCal Camp will have a phone they can use.
Is there a deadline to get a camper registered?
Registration is closed for SoCal Camp 2024
