Camp Summit - Right Here Right Now
Camp Summit is back for 2026, and registration is now open.
Taking place 13th–16th July at Ganaway Activity Centre, Millisle, this year’s theme is Right Here, Right Now.
Camp Summit brings young people together from across our 6 hubs for a few days, focused on good relations, discovering faith, and building friendships.
Through a mix of workshops, activities, and shared time together, it creates space to connect, reflect, and step into something different this summer.
Registration is now open!
If you would like to help make camp possible for a young person who might not otherwise get the chance to attend, via sponsorship, please click the link below
