Our GrowStudents are extremely excited to be returning to “Miracle Camp” in Lawton, Michigan for 4 days and 3 nights from August 3rd – 6th for a true “camp” experience. Our students always have an unforgettable experience hearing from God, building relationships and participating in activities like zip-lining, a high ropes course, a paintball course ($10 additional paid at camp), hiking and mountain biking trails, a water trampoline and blob, canoeing, kayaking, and spending time on Bankson Lake!
Check out this video to see for yourself all the fun Miracle Camp has to offer!
Are there additional camp scholarships?
It is our desire that no student misses out on Summer Camp due to finances. Thanks to the generosity of our GrowPoint Family, every student who attends summer camp automatically receives a discount on their camp registration. For the past several years, we have been able to offer further scholarships to those who need assistance with camp registration costs. These are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis to students who are regular attenders of GrowStudents on Sunday nights.
If your family is in need of assistance, we encourage you to apply by June 5th. Approved applicants will receive a promo code to use during the registration process. The deadline to apply for a partial camp scholarship is June 5th. *Please note, these additional limited financial scholarships are for families that are experiencing financial hardships.

How do I register my camper?
Step One: Register your student using the online registration form to save your spot! If you are applying for a partial camp scholarship, that must be completed before registering for camp so that if approved, we can provide you with a discount code for registration. Registration closes on July 17th at 11:59pm.
Please note the following pricing deadlines:
- Early Bird Price ($250): Register by July 3rd to take advantage of the discounted rate.
- Standard Price ($265): This price applies to all registrations submitted after July 3rd.
Step Two: Upon completion of registration, you will be directed to fill out two additional waivers. The first waiver is the GrowStudents Summer Camp 2026 Parental/Legal Guardian Consent & Liability Waiver/Hold Harmless Form. The second waiver is from Miracle Camp which allows your campers to attend and participate in camp activities. Both of these waivers are REQUIRED for anyone attending camp this summer.
Knowing that this is a lot of information for you and your student, we have created a FAQ page to help provide answers to any immediate questions you may have. We hope this brings clarity to our vision and helps you plan for this camp.
We are so excited to head to camp with GrowStudents this summer! If you have any questions please feel free to reach out!

FAQ’s
What should I know about Miracle Camp?
Miracle Camp (Lawton, MI) is a premier facility with highly trained staff overseeing all high-adventure activities like zip-lining, archery, and paintball. Certified lifeguards are always on duty at the waterfront, and the grounds are patrolled by security at night. While Miracle Camp may host other groups on-site, GrowStudents will have its own dedicated spaces for services, programming, and sleeping arrangements.
Who is the camp speaker this year?
We are honored to welcome Pastor Neco Alexandre as our 2026 camp speaker! As the NextGen Pastor for our Foursquare District, Neco has a deep heart for seeing students empowered and walking in their identity in Christ. He is an incredible communicator who knows our movement and our students, and we can’t wait to hear the message God has placed on his heart for this week!
How will my student get to camp?
We travel in style and safety! We have reserved professional school buses through Auxilio—the same trusted company we’ve used for years—to transport our students, and leaders..
When are we leaving and returning?
- Departure: Meet in the GrowPoint Church front parking lot on Monday, August 3rd at 9:00 AM.
- Return: We expect to arrive back at the church on Thursday, August 6th around 6:00 PM. We ask students to text their parents a “30-minute out” heads-up so you’re ready for pickup!
What meals are provided during travel?
- On the way: We will stop at a travel plaza for lunch. Students will need to bring cash for this meal. Dinner will be provided once we arrive at camp.
- Coming home: Students will eat breakfast and lunch at camp. We will head straight home after lunch, so they should be back in time for dinner with you!
What are the sleeping arrangements?
Boys and girls stay in separate, secure cabins. Our students stay in dorm-style rooms with bunk beds and their own private bathroom and shower. GrowPoint leadership carefully handles all room assignments to ensure every student feels welcome.
- Note: Students must bring their own twin-sized bedding and towels.
What if my student has a food allergy?
Miracle Camp serves meals buffet-style, allowing students to choose what fits their needs. They offer gluten-free options and are very accommodating. Please list all allergies/restrictions on your registration form so we can coordinate with the camp kitchen in advance.
How is medication handled?
We will have a dedicated Camp Nurse from GrowPoint on-site. All medications must be checked in before departure. Please place medication in a Ziploc bag labeled with your student’s name, the medication name, and dosage instructions. Our nurse will keep these secure and administer them as prescribed.
Will my student need extra cash?
Beyond lunch on the way to camp, students may want extra money for:
- The Camp Store: Snacks, drinks, ice cream, and Miracle Camp merch.
- Paintball: If they choose to play, it is $10 per round for ammunition.
What is the phone policy?
To help students “unplug” and build intentional connections with God and each other, we collect all cell phones before leaving. In the event of an emergency, you will be provided with a direct leadership contact number to reach your child.
