Holiday Camps

Big fun. Big friendships. Big camp memories.

LYQ Holiday Camps are school-holiday adventures where children and young people can laugh loudly, try new things, build confidence, make friends, and explore faith in a safe, caring community.

For more than 70 years, LYQ camps have helped campers discover more about themselves, their world, and God — all while having an outrageous amount of fun.

<strong>The LYQ difference:</strong> our camps blend high-energy activities, supportive leaders, faith-forming moments, and genuine community. We intentionally keep strong leader-to-camper support so every camper can be known, encouraged, and included.

What makes every LYQ Holiday Camp special?

Amazing leaders

Our volunteer leaders are selected, trained, and supported so they can create a safe, joyful, and encouraging camp environment. Leaders help run activities, care for campers, guide conversations, and make camp feel like a place where everyone belongs.

Faith, fun, and friendship

Every camp includes opportunities to explore Christian faith. Some camps, like CLW and Kids Camp, include a deeper Christian teaching component. Blast camps are more introductory and help campers explore faith in a gentle, relational way.

Activities campers actually talk about afterwards

Depending on the camp, activities may include:

  • Treasure hunts
  • Laser skirmish
  • Surfing lessons
  • High ropes
  • Flying fox
  • Capture the flag
  • Messy games
  • Worship
  • Bible studies
  • Team challenges
  • Offsite adventures

Space to grow

Camp gives young people a chance to step out of routine, put phones away, try new things, meet new people, and discover confidence they did not know they had.
