JUMP: YFM MIDDLE SCHOOL

SUMMER OVERNIGHT CAMP 2025

JULY 28 - AUGUST 1, 2025

Middle School Summer Overnight Camp is the ultimate place for your 6th, 7th, and 8th grade student! During this 5-day camp, we'll explore how we are invited to trust God as we JUMP into our faith. This camp is an incredible opportunity for students to connect with their peers, build meaningful friendships, and most importantly, an opportunity for them to challenge themselves to grow deeper in their faith, through the teaching of God's Word, worship, and so much more!


This summer, Red Hill Lutheran Church & School is heading to a beautiful, private, gated 5-acre estate in Palm Desert! Our group will have exclusive access to two pools, a large pond with an outdoor pavilion, a regulation-size tennis court that converts into multiple pickleball courts, plus cabanas and fire pits for evening gatherings. Inside, students can enjoy a pool table, board games, and plenty of space to relax and bond. Whether they're soaking up the sun, playing sports, swimming, or unwinding with friends, this retreat offers the perfect balance of fun and intentionality for all to create lasting memories with their friends and JUMP deeper into their faith!


Register today! Spots are limited! If you have any questions or need further information, please feel free to contact the Student Ministry Coordinator, Tim Rivera, at trivera@redhillchurch.org.

  • THE MAKING OF

    Midweek Teaching Series For MARCH

    Good movies capture our imaginations and transport us to other worlds. As we watch our favorite movies with popcorn in hand, we may not realize all of the work, edits, and rewrites that went into making the cinematic masterpiece. The same is true of our faith, too. We might expect our relationship with God to look like a finished product, but really, our faith and relationship with God are still in the making.


    In this 4-week series from the Gospels and Epistles, we'll explore what can happen when we invest in spiritual formation. We'll see how spending time with God can make us more like Jesus and how, when we face temptation, we can ask God for help. We'll also discover how with God, difficult moments can help our character grow and how we grow when we make things right with God.


    Want to learn and grow alongside your kid as we go through this teaching series? You can! Spend a few minutes each week studying the passages of Scripture we'll be teaching, praying about what God wants to do in you and your family, and growing by putting God's words into practice in your own life.
