Let it grow in you.

May 31 - June 3, 2026

This summer, step into something more. Kingdom Come is more than a camp—it’s an invitation to experience the life God is growing in you. From the very beginning, God’s Kingdom has been like a garden—full of purpose, beauty, and growth. But too often, life feels dry, distracted, or disconnected. What if this week could be different? What if you could take root, be renewed, and discover who you were made to be? Through powerful worship, real community, and honest conversations about faith, you’ll be invited to encounter Jesus and be part of something bigger than yourself. Let it grow in you.
ADVENTURE
Jump into the action. From massive group games to all-camp competitions, every day is packed with energy, teamwork, and unforgettable moments. Whether you’re diving into the chaos or leading the charge, this is your chance to be part of something bigger—and way more fun—than you expected.
AUTHENTICITY
Take time to slow down and go deeper. In the middle of the noise, we create space for real conversations, honest questions, and meaningful time in God’s Word. No pressure, no pretending—just a chance to explore your faith in a way that’s personal and real.
AWESOME
Let loose and enjoy it. From water games to spontaneous fun with friends, camp is full of moments that make you laugh, connect, and just be a kid again. It’s the kind of joy you don’t want to miss—and won’t forget when the week is over.

About the Campgrounds

Walnut ridge retreat center in scenic morganstown, in

This summer, AFCNAZ Teen Camp will take place at Walnut Ridge Retreat Center—a beautiful, 65-acre property tucked away in the woods. With wide open fields for big group games, scenic trails to explore, and both a lake and pool for water activities (and even fishing), it’s a setting that naturally creates space for both high-energy fun and meaningful moments throughout the week. Walnut Ridge also gives us everything we need to gather well as a camp.

From a large meeting space for worship and teaching to quieter spots perfect for small groups and personal time in God’s Word, it’s a place that helps us step away from the distractions of everyday life and focus on what matters most. We’re grateful to call this place home for the week as we experience all that God has in store for us.

Peace of Mind for the Journey

We understand that sending your student to camp is a big step, and we are committed to making it a safe, positive, and meaningful experience. From full-time on-site security and medical care to trusted adult leadership and a strong, biblically grounded environment, every part of camp is designed with your student’s well-being in mind. Our goal is simple: create a place where students are safe, cared for, and able to grow—so you can have complete confidence while they’re away.

Security

We provide full-time, on-site security led by a trained law enforcement officer who serves on our volunteer youth staff. This ensures a safe, well-monitored environment where students can fully engage without concern.

Health

A licensed nurse is present throughout the week to care for any medical needs that may arise. From daily medications to unexpected situations, your student’s health is always supported.

Supervision

Students are cared for by trained, background-checked leaders who are present, attentive, and invested in their well-being. With structured schedules and small group connections, no student goes unseen or unsupported.

Spiritual Environment

All teaching and programming are grounded in Scripture and designed to be clear, encouraging, and age-appropriate. We create space for students to ask questions, grow in their faith, and encounter God in a genuine way.
