Our Goal-
Covenant Youth Camp, under the banner of HFF.CHURCH, a Saturday Church promoting Jesus as Messiah in Norman, OK started in 2023 to provide a summer camp for youth and junior youth to intentionally introduce them to Jesus and discipleship. The goal is to create a healthy and thriving environment for youth to engage and learn about Yeshua (Jesus) their Messiah, to be equipped to walk in a manner daily that promotes that Jesus is their salvation, and to engage in a safe and Holy Spirit lead environment with youth who share the faith from around the world. Covenant Youth Camp was established in 2023.
What to Expect-
Our Messianic Christian summer camp is filled with spiritual teachings, discipleship in small groups, personal encounter time as well as fun, games, and fellowship time with new and old friends. At the conclusion of every day we have a corporate worship time filled with teaching, praise and worship, and prayer. Our youth, staff, and junior staff are all assigned to small groups that we call “Groups’ where they are encouraged to interact, dialogue, and grow together to strengthen relationships with Yeshua and each other. As a camp policy, we separate friends and family while we are assigning the small groups “Groups” with the goal of encouraging them to develop new friends and spiritual growth. The week of camp is packed with activities and a schedule to ensure the youth get the most out of their financial investment in coming to the camp. Small groups will compete against one another daily in fun activities with the winning small group claiming the Yeshua Award. During camp, all of our youth will participate in an original and challenging game, unlike anything they have experienced called the GLOW Game, complete with fireworks! This game develops team work, communication, and a focus on how we can overcome life’s struggles with the help of Jesus! We are all about keeping this camp intimate and focused on the goal of discipleship, in order to do that we will only allow a limited amount of campers to attend.
Daily Themes-
As a part of the fun and spiritual growth, each day and corporate worship time has a spiritual theme and a fun theme. Participation in the spiritual theme is a requirement but dressing up or participating in the fun theme is voluntary.
Our Staff-
For over 17 years Christians from Baptist to Messianic and every denomination in between have entrusted their youth groups, and teenagers to attend summer camps run, founded, or counseled by our leadership across the US. In the last 17 years we have helped plant and counsel youth summer camps in IN, NC, SC, TN, CA, TX, FL, and even in Canada. Our staff follows the same goals and vision that we ask of the campers, train disciples to replace you, engage with each other in mentorship, develop life-long Christian relationships, and experience Jesus corporately and privately. Below is some of our key staff members overseen by the Elders of hff.church.
