OVERVIEW:

VCY America has been involved in different camping ministries since 1963. In December of 1998, VCY was ably to acquire a beautiful 385 acre camp facility in Hillsboro, Wisconsin that we now know as Trail Ridge Camp and Conference Center. Through the years, VCY has conducted several camps for kids, teens, families, underprivileged youth and specialty retreats.

This ministry has opened the door for countless young people and adults to come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. Each week, boys and girls enjoy a great time of wholesome activity coupled with vivid Bible time presentations and Scripture memory competition, in which campers love to participate.

Below, you will see information about our different ministries this summer. If you have any questions about Trail Ridge that are not answered in the “Frequently Asked Questions” (FAQ's) links to the right, please contact us; and we will be happy to answer those for you.

TEEN LEADERSHIP CAMP:

Teen Leadership Camp is for a limited number of young men and young ladies who are serious about their faith and are looking to take their faith to the next level by becoming a Godly leader. This camp is for teenagers going into their freshman year of high school up to those entering their senior year of high school. During this week of camp, we are going to look at what it takes to be a Godly leader. We will see that in order to be a leader, you have to be a follower of the One who gave himself for you.

It will be held July 30-August 4, 2012. The Leadership Camp Brochure and Application links are in the right column..
