Our Goal-
Covenant Youth Camp, under the banner of HFF.CHURCH, a Saturday Church promoting Jesus as Messiah in Norman, OK started in 2023 to provide a summer camp for youth and junior youth to intentionally introduce them to Jesus and discipleship. The goal is to create a healthy and thriving environment for youth to engage and learn about Yeshua (Jesus) their Messiah, to be equipped to walk in a manner daily that promotes that Yeshua is their salvation, and to engage in a safe and Holy Spirit lead environment with youth who share the faith from around the world. Covenant Youth Camp was established in 2023.
What to Expect-
Our Messianic Christian summer camp is filled with spiritual teachings, discipleship in small groups, personal encounter time as well as fun, games, and fellowship time with new and old friends. At the conclusion of every day we have a corporate worship time filled with teaching, praise and worship, and prayer. Our youth, staff, and junior staff are all assigned to small groups that we call “Groups’ where they are encouraged to interact, dialogue, and grow together to strengthen relationships with Yeshua and each other. As a camp policy, we separate friends and family while we are assigning the small groups “Groups” with the goal of encouraging them to develop new friends and spiritual growth. The week of camp is packed with activities and a schedule to ensure the youth get the most out of their financial investment in coming to the camp. Small groups will compete against one another daily in fun activities with the winning small group claiming the Yeshua Award. During camp, all of our youth will participate in an original and challenging game, unlike anything they have experienced called the Trib Game, which was created by Ephraim Judah! This game develops team work, communication, and a focus on how we can overcome life’s struggles with the help of Jesus! We are all about keeping this camp intimate and focused on the goal of discipleship, in order to do that we will only allow a limited amount of campers to attend.
Daily Themes-
As a part of the fun and spiritual growth, each day and corporate worship time has a spiritual theme and a fun theme. Participation in the spiritual theme is a requirement but dressing up or participating in the fun theme is voluntary.
Ministry Advisory Council-
Our ministry advisory council is responsible for overseeing the Spiritual direction and decisions for CYC. The council works together to create themes, and daily spiritual lesson plans, and implement processes to help direct the camp in a healthy biblical direction. The Ministry advisory council serves under the leadership structure of HFF.church and is accountable to it’s cultural documents, policies, and rules. Their roles are to help outline the overview of the camp to help meet the spiritual goals and directions as laid out by hff.church.
