Super Summer Youth Leadership Camp

Super Summer is the premiere leadership training opportunity for students from Texas Baptist churches. Students (from completed grades 7-12) who have trusted Jesus as their Lord and Savior and who have a desire to grow in their leadership abilities will benefit from the powerful experiences of Bible study, worship, prayer, fellowship, and leadership development that Super Summer offers. This is an opportunity for our students to join together with hundreds of students from other Texas Baptist churches to sharpen our leadership skills in ways that we can put into practice right here in our church and our community!

Here are a few things that you need to know about Super Summer:

• Super Summer is NOT Youth Camp. New Hope Youth Camp takes place the month AFTER Super Summer… (Youth Camp is July 3-8…and it is going to be AWESOME!!!)
• Super Summer is a week of structured and focused leadership training for 7th-12 Grade students who will also be attending New Hope Youth Camp. If you can only attend one of these two weeks (Youth Camp or Super Summer), then you should choose to attend Youth Camp.
• Super Summer is intended for students who have already declared Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord. It is a leadership training opportunity for Christian students who want to grow in their walk with the Lord and develop the leadership skills and potential that God has given them. Students who are not already committed to Christ and pursuing servant leadership responsibilities in our Student Ministry may find  themselves overwhelmed by the active and highly disciplined schedule of Super Summer.
• The cost to attend Super Summer for New Hope Students is $120. When you go to www.supersummer.com, you will discover that the actual cost per student is between $250-$300. The reason that the cost for New Hope Students is so much lower is that our Student Ministry has made the choice to heavily subsidize the registration cost for each student from our church. We consider our students’ participation in the ministry of Super Summer to be an investment in the student leadership of our Student Ministry, so we have made plans to help give our leadership students the financial ability to attend.
• Students at Super Summer will stay in college dormitories on the campus of Dallas Baptist University. Students will share a room with other students of the same gender and grade level. If there are students of the same gender and grade level who are from the same church, then it is most likely that those students will share a room together.
• In the past, there has been approximately 400—500 students from other Baptist churches across the state of Texas who were in attendance at our session of Super Summer. This is a great place to make friends with other students from across the state who love Jesus and are trying to grow deeper in their walk with Him.
