Our Story
In a culture that challenges faith at every turn, young people are constantly pressured to fit in, compromise, or walk away from what they believe. But the bible calls us to “Remember your Creator in the days of your youth” (Ecclesiastes 12:1)—not later, but now, when passion is strong and lives can be fully lived for Christ. In 1 Peter 2:9, we are reminded that we are chosen, set apart, and called to stand out.
Chosen Youth Camp is a vibrant, Bible-centred, multi-denominational residential camp led by passionate youth leaders and pastors who believe young people can stand firm and live boldly for Jesus. Our heart is to help youths discover who they really are in Christ, step confidently into their God-given purpose, and make a real difference in their generation. Through powerful Bible teaching, meaningful worship, and unforgettable fun, we equip young people to grow as followers of Christ, use their gifts, and build friendships that last. For many, it’s not just a camp, it’s the highlight of the year and a defining moment in their faith.
