Welcome to NorthGate Jr Camp Growth 2027

Theme: We The Kingdom — Living Free

Welcome to a transformative season at NorthGate Camp Growth! Our 2027 theme, "We the Kingdom: Living Free," is more than just a title; it is our mission.

The Sacred Space for Growth: Our philosophy is anchored in a simple, eternal truth: God changes lives. We believe the camp environment is a uniquely appointed setting where God draws the kids to Himself, softening hearts and strengthening bonds among the kids, with themselves and with God. Ascending the mountain carries profound biblical significance—removing the clamor of daily distractions to find clarity in the presence of our Creator.

By stepping away from the world, we create the space necessary for the kids to hear His voice, experience His grace, and return to the valley equipped for their calling.

Love God
