Tracks

Studio

The “Studio” track is for chapters under 40 that are already blending their gifts in a team-oriented ministry. God has provided leaders and members and now the group is ready to jump to the next level with renewed vision and energy. A perfect track for small to mid-sized chapters that want to grow and share Christ with their campus.


Live!

For chapters of 40+, the “Live!” track recognizes groups that have been working successfully on the front lines and yet suffer from a case of “holy discontent” with the status quo. Leaders desire a bigger vision from God and are longing to share the love of Jesus Christ with more and more students. “Live!” will empower student for Spirit-led growth.


Location

Camp Judson

The grounds of Camp Judson cover 160 acres of mountain terrain that borders the Black Hills National Forest. Several hiking trails lead out of camp with 3 of the more popular ones going to Mt Bald, Mt Rushmore and Horse Thief Lake. Pine Creek sends its sparkling water winding down the canyon through the camp where our lake reflects the beauty of pine, fir and aspen that cover the surrounding landscape.
