Why: Welcome Home. This is what every teenager hears the moment they step onto the grounds at a Life Teen Summer Camp. At St. Mark we strive to create a physical, emotional, and spiritual place that teens can call “home.” The goal of camp is simple: to be a continuation of that effort to foster belonging in the lives of our youth through relationship with Christ and one another. No matter their questions, doubts, or struggles they may be working through, they are always welcome. Camp is their home, away from home.
Registration Cost: $585 + travel cost

*Travel costs include flights and shuttles to and from camp and the Atlanta airport. The chaperone support fee reduces the total cost of the trip for our adult chaperones. More campers means a reduced travel cost and chaperone support fee for the whole group!
**Refund Policy: The $100 deposit required to secure your child's spot is non-refundable. Additional payments made after the deposit will be refunded in full if our office is notified of the camper's withdrawal before January 31st. Families who withdraw from camp after January 31st remain responsible for the final balance of camp registration, including the chaperone support fee, unless St. Mark has potential campers on a waitlist. If St. Mark has a waitlist and a family claims the newly open spot, the original camper's family will be refunded in full (minus the deposit) and the new camper's family will become responsible for the new camper's final balance. Refunded flights may come in the form of airline credits.
If you are interested in camp, please contact us so that we can be sure you get updates!
