“Summer Surge has been an incredible blessing for our youth group, bringing energy, excitement, and growth. The worship, games, and fellowship times have not only deepened our connection with God but also strengthened our bond as a community, creating lasting memories and friendships. It’s been amazing to see how it’s impacted both the youth and our leaders, making the summer unforgettable.”

Rockin’ the Nations ChurchSpartanburg, SC

“Summer Surge has been a true game-changer for our youth group. Each year, our students come back spiritually refreshed and more connected than ever, not only in their friendships but also in their relationship with God. The high-energy worship and meaningful fellowship create a powerful environment for growth where I’ve seen lives genuinely transformed. It’s an experience that leaves a lasting impact on everyone who attends!”

Bruce RobinsonColumbia, SC

“Summer Surge Church Camp has always held a special place in my heart. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of watching countless kids grow closer to Jesus through this incredible experience. I’ve seen them blossom, not only in their faith but also in their ability to make lifelong friends and create unforgettable memories. It’s been amazing to witness their personal encounters with the Holy Spirit, moments that have transformed their lives. Summer Surge isn’t just a camp; it’s a life-changing spiritual awakening for both the campers and the counselors. The foundation it builds for these kids is one that will last forever, and the impact it has on their relationship with Jesus is something they will cherish for the rest of their lives. Summer Surge will always be remembered as the place where so many first encountered the love and grace of God.”

FREE DAY: Your Day, Your Way!

We’re excited to introduce a Free Day into this year’s Summer Surge schedule! This is a special time set aside just for your youth group to connect, explore, and make your own memories. Whether you want to hit the beach, check out Myrtle Beach’s attractions, or relax around campus, it’s completely up to you!

There will be no morning session on Free Day, and lunch will be on your own (organized by your group). We’ll all come back together that evening for a powerful worship service and late-night fun.

Currently, Free Day is planned for Thursday, but that may shift based on the final camp schedule.

Safety and Supervision

All staff members and volunteers undergo background checks, and we maintain a safe adult-to-student ratio around the clock. Our accommodations, transportation, and activity planning all follow strict guidelines, ensuring everyone can focus on what matters most: growing in faith and community.
