Merritt Youth Retreat

Merritt Youth Retreat The camp is for incoming high school freshman through high school graduates. In the evenings we also play group games and eat smoores and campfire pies.

Merritt Youth Retreat is a Christ-centered, non-denominational camp held every year on the third weekend of July at Davis Creek Recreation Area near Scotia, NE. At Merritt Youth Retreat, we will study the Bible, meet with Small Groups, and sing worship music in the mornings and evenings. During the day you can go water skiing, tubing, go down our man made water slide, swim, jump on our water tramp

oline, play volleyball, go fishing, or find one of our many other fun activities to take part in. On Saturday night we have an amazing campfire service. At Merritt Youth Retreat, you will meet new friends, eat great food, and drink the BEST hot chocolate you've ever tasted! What to bring:
*Registration, medical permission slip
*$35 (suggested donation) & 1 dozen cookies

✨ THIS YEAR'S THEME IS TREASURED ✨

In a world that constantly tells us our value comes from what we do, God reminds us that our value comes from who we belong to.

At Merritt Camp, we'll discover what it means to be God's treasured possession and how His love gives us true worth.

📖 Malachi 3:17-18

Camp is more than just a fun weekend away.

It’s a place where kids grow in their faith, build lasting friendships, and step away from everyday distractions to focus on what matters most.

We’re thankful for every family trusting us with their child this summer. ❤️

✨ THIS YEAR’S THEME: TREASURED ✨

“They shall be mine, say the Lord of hosts, in the day when i make up my treasured possession, and i will spare them as a man spares his son who serves him, Then one more you shall see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked. between one who serves God and one who does not serve him,”
— Malachi 3:17-18

This summer we'll be focusing on what it means to be treasured by God. He created everyone with purpose and value. When we surrender our lives to Christ, He calls us His own.

We can’t wait for a weekend full of faith, fun, friendships, and growing closer to Christ together. ❤️

10 weeks.

That’s it.

10 weeks until the games, the lake days, the late-night laughs… and the moments that actually change lives.

Camp isn’t just something to do this summer—
it’s something you’ll remember long after it’s over.

Bring your friends. Be part of it.

Don’t wait too long 👀

Don’t let anyone look down on you because you’re young.

You don’t have to wait to make an impact.
You don’t have to wait to live boldly for God.

Right now—where you are—you can lead.
In how you speak.
In how you live.
In how you love.

Step up. Stand firm. Live different.
