Adventurer Family Camp Leaves Lasting Impact

June 11, 2025

CLIFTON, TEX. – After weather concerns forced a reschedule, the Texas Conference Adventurer Family Camp finally kicked off April 11–13 at Lake Whitney Ranch. What a weekend it turned out to be! More than 2,500 Adventurers and their families gathered for a powerful experience of worship, community and fun.

Themed “The Upgrade”, the weekend reminded attendees that Jesus is the one upgrade we truly need in order to live better, love deeper and walk stronger. Through creative storytelling, energetic worship and engaging hands-on activities, kids and parents discovered how Jesus renews us from the inside out.

From obstacle courses and nature walks to creative crafts, engaging games and memorable campfire moments, every part of the weekend was designed with families in mind. And while the fun was non-stop, it was the spiritual impact that truly defined the event. The presence of the Holy Spirit was felt strongly throughout the camp, and by the end of the weekend, 21 individuals had made the decision to give their lives to Jesus.

The weekend was a living example of how ministry is most powerful when it brings generations together. Parents, mentors, leaders and young ones camped and grew in Christ, side by side.

We’re grateful for the families, volunteers and local church leaders who made “The Upgrade” a weekend to remember. We know the seeds planted will grow for years to come.
