Passage Institute

2025 Dates:
Sunday, June 22 - Friday, June 27

Our Passage Institute camp is an invite-only camp for students ages 16-18 who want to go deeper in their faith. Passage camp consists of a small group of students (typically 10-20) who participate in multiple daily sessions in theological training from professors from LeTourneau University. (See the flyer at the bottom of this page for more info about them!)

Passage is happening at our Haines camp this year! Campers will stay in cabins at our Haines location with two counselors just like in Senior High Camp. When they’re not in sessions, Passage campers will do a few work projects in Haines, a hike in town, and other activities at camp like laser tag, campfires, the zipline, and more.
