Surprise Valley Youth Camp is a nonprofit Christian youth camp affiliated with the churches of Christ (Romans 16:16). The goal of the camp is to promote bible study and Christian growth as well as fun and fellowship among the youth of the world. SVYC is a place where our young people can go to get away from the dangers and problems of the world and can interact with each other in a Christ like manner. There are four weeks of camping each year; three junior weeks and one senior week. There are many activities that take place throughout a week at camp. The Bible being the number one priority.
Campers at SVYC will be exposed to bible classes, chapel services, Bible bowls, devotionals, singing, praying and Christian fellowship as well as many outdoor activities including; soccer, basketball, football, softball, volleyball, badminton, hiking, archery, crafts, campfires and more.
The camp is staffed each week by Christians who volunteer their time as counselors, teachers, cooks, nurses and other helpers. The SVYC Board of Directors consists of twelve devout Christian men who serve the Lord daily and are devoted to helping teach and guide the young people who attend. Each week of camp has a director who oversees the activities to assure that the Bible is taught and safety is maintained.
The two directors are members of the camp board of directors. Dewey Miller, an Elder of the church in South Charleston, WV is the director of two of the junior weeks and George Erwin, a member of the Pine Grove, WV congregation directs one junior week and the senior week of camp. Both have been directors for a number of years and enjoy their time with the children. Surprise Valley Youth Camp wishes to thank you for your support.
