Youth ministry creates educational, safe, fun, and Christ-centered ministries for youth in the Presbyterian church.
Opportunities for Youth
Summer Camp
June 9-July 27 (multiple sessions)
Since 1957, Camp Hanover has offered Christian summer camps — both day and overnight programs — for elementary, middle and high school youth. That’s 65+ years of experience in providing dynamic, safe, and meaningful youth programming.
Youth Servant Leadership Institute
June 17-21
The Pace Center at VCU hosts this immersive experience for middle and high school-aged youth. Youth will stay overnight in downtown Richmond and participate in mission and service opportunities throughout the Richmond area. Mission partners include Shalom Farms, the Richmond SPCA, and Friends of the James River Park. Youth will learn Servant Leadership principles and reflect on their experiences through the lens of Servant Leadership.
Middle School Conference
June 20-July 19, 2024 (multiple sessions)
Massanetta Springs Middle School Conference is a transformational program that welcomes hundreds of middlers and their leaders from all over the country each summer. Participants attend keynotes, recreation, workshops, and worship designed with them in mind. Youth will reflect and learn alongside youth from other places, with support from high school leaders.
Convergence at Randolph-Macon College
June 25-30, 2024
Young people often hear that what they read in the Bible and learn in church has nothing to do with what they study in science classes–or they are told religion and science are always in conflict with each other. In this program, Randolph-Macon College faculty, staff, and respected friends help teens explore the convergence of faith and science.
