Amplify (Senior High Youth Gathering)

NOVEMBER 6-8, 2026
$140/participant

The deadline to register is October 16th.

Experience a weekend in the beautiful woods of southern Indiana that’s full of adventure, laughter, and some amazing time together. More than that, this weekend will provide your group with the opportunity to AMPLIFY their faith and build upon the good work that is already being done through the Lord and through your ministry to them!

If you’ve been to a camp retreat before you know they’re filled with action-packed activities, intentional faith building, and a whole lot of fun! The entire weekend is led by the Lakeview staff to allow your leaders to focus on hanging out and building relationships with your students.

This will be an experience that will help AMPLIFY stronger community among your students, inspire them to live out their faith in their lives, provide opportunities for deep conversations and chances for students feel seen and known, and help amplify the good work Jesus is already doing in them.

See you at camp!


HOW TO REGISTER

How to Register:
Registration will open in May through the Retreat Log In button found on this page (NOT the general “Register/Log In” button used for summer camp registration.)

Prior to logging in, group leaders will need to fill out the Group Enrollment Form with contact information to allow camp staff to create a retreat account for their group.

Here are the steps broken down:


THE BASICS:

Who:
Any high school youth! And don’t forget your awesome adult leaders too! Lakeview Ministries requires at least one adult leader per ten youth, with at least one male and one female adult leader for co-ed groups.

Arrival/Departure Information:
Plan on arriving at camp with your group between 6:00-7:00 pm on Friday evening. The retreat will end on Sunday at 11:00am.

Meals:
All meals are included in the cost of the retreat and will be provided starting with Saturday breakfast and ending with Sunday breakfast.

Housing:
Housing will be in various buildings around camp, including our lodges, cabins, and village clusters. All areas are dorm-style housing with shared community bathrooms. For our cabins and village clusters, the shared bathhouse is a short outdoor walk from the cabins. Our rooms and cabins hold from between 4-14 people, depending on the number of bunk beds. Your group will be assigned your own block of rooms or cabins to use based on your group size and gender breakdown.
