Located in the beautiful countryside about 30 minutes outside downtown Nashville, Thunder Camp is an evangelism and leadership camp that combines a passion for the creative arts, community, & learning about Jesus with lots of fun! It is hosted by Harvest Sound, a thriving local church in downtown Nashville, with a heart for community and missions both locally and globally. This life-changing and spiritually focused summer camp is designed specifically for ages 13-18 to help them discover their God-given design, strengthen their creativity, and make strong friendships that will last a lifetime. Thunder Camp is in June of 2024 and is the best time of the year for many young campers from all over the world!!
THE THREE DIFFERENT C’S OF THUNDER CAMP!
COMMUNITY: Every year joyful shouts and excited young faces fill the YWAN base during the week of Thunder Camp! The cheerful atmosphere of this teen camp creates a safe space of acceptance, positivity, and growth. They will be able to thrive as they grow in their gifts and learn to glorify God with them. In the daily schedule, a space is created for personal devotions, where they can connect deeper with God and have the time that they need to process everything. There will also be fun group games that require teamwork and are designed to build character and strengthen their values as a teenager. Living within a loving community will create an ideal space where they can grow in trust and learn to communicate well with others. We even have a special night designated just for the guys and girls separately to dive deep into what it means to be a man or a woman of Godly character and truly celebrate the importance of their God-given identity and purity. Powerful teaching sessions from different leaders will specifically target things teens struggle with at this age, like identity, depression, trusting God with their lives, and different fears they might have. It will be a safe place for them to embrace freedom and confidence in their identity as a son or daughter of God!
CREATIVITY: Having healthy minds and bodies is important as a teenager, and this great camp has lots of energetic group activities like different outdoor sports (such as volleyball, soccer, and kickball), drama skits, dance parties, and water balloon toss games! There are also different chill fun games, like engaging card games to play with friends, or they can get creative with art supplies, and if they want, they can join in with the music jams that often spontaneously break out in the hallways during their free time. Also one of the unique highlights of this summer camp is the different creative workshops they can choose from! They will be taught valuable tips and lessons by trained and knowledgeable speakers, that will help them succeed and grow in their gifts, passions, and callings. Some fun classes they can choose from are photography, guitar, art, drama, and vocals. Then they will also have many opportunities throughout the week to put what they have learned into action!
COMPASSION: They will experience a mission lifestyle with their friends and the caring and capable staff of Harvest Sound! There will be opportunities to help serve and connect with the inner city and homeless community at the weekly Meal of Hope that Harvest Sound Church hosts in the heart of Nashville. It is a powerful and beautiful experience of being the hands and feet of Jesus to our neighbor and many lives are impacted by love in action! On one special day in the week, they will be able to join in with everyone at an inner-city children's outreach in Nashville. There will be different opportunities to help with fun skits, face painting, active games, fun live music, and a dance party with all the adorable and precious children who come and love attention!! Also, during this week they will be given different jobs to help with meals and cleanup. The jobs will be distributed evenly among the students, and they will have the opportunity to earn points for their teammates in a fun and competitive game of serving others around them to encourage stewardship and teamwork.
At Thunder Camp, the desire is that each exceptional camper would get commissioned into their God-given calling and become a strong leader for Jesus in their generation!
