YXYA Camp 2026 is a focused gathering for youth and young adults, led by the Youth and Young Adult Ministry of IGLESIA Tri Cities. This year’s theme, “By His Spirit,” centers on the truth that the Christian life is not lived in our own strength, but through the power and work of the Holy Spirit.
Rooted in the gospel and grounded in Scripture, the camp is designed to call the next generation to a deep, steady faith in Christ and a life shaped by His Word. Through worship, biblical teaching, and intentional time together, our desire is to see young people grow in their dependence on the Spirit, strengthened in their faith, and encouraged to live for the glory of Christ.

YXYA Camp is designed to create an environment where young people are not only engaged, but deeply impacted by the truth of God’s Word. Every part of the experience is intentional, helping students and young adults grow in their walk with Christ.
Throughout the camp, participants will take part in Scripture-centered Bible studies that aim to move beyond surface-level understanding and call them into genuine faith and obedience. These are paired with guided discussions where truth is applied personally. Our goal is not just information, but transformation as lives are shaped by the Spirit through the Word.
Beyond teaching sessions, the camp includes engaging activities and shared experiences that build strong, Christ-centered community. Cabin groups are arranged by age and stage of life to encourage connection, accountability, and discipleship.
YXYA Camp invites secondary students (grades 8 to 12) and college-aged young adults (ages 18 to 30) to come ready to be challenged, encouraged, and equipped to live by His Spirit.
