2026 Theme
Linked by Love
Love comes from God. We see God's love in close friends and family. Such love links our lives, teaching us about commitment, intimacy, grace, and faith.

Why Camp Matters
CYF changed my life. I found a community where I could be completely myself. I discovered a passion for service and left camp feeling closer to God and to people than ever before.
As a parent, I was blown away by the warmth and positivity at camp. The staff truly cares, and my kids came home beaming with confidence and faith.
I felt accepted for who I am here. Camp at Bethany Beach is the best week of my year – I can’t wait to come back!
