It's a testimony week! Mr. Bergey shares his life and journey with Jesus
Nothing is more important than your faith. Each Wednesday join in the community of teens striving to be disciples of Jesus and bringing their friends along for the journey.
IGNITE (6th grade - 8th grade) Event is 6pm-730pm, doors open @5:45pm
C4 (9th grade - 12th grade) Event is 7pm-8:45pm, you can arrive as early as 6:45
Ignite, some weeks we have "Open Gym" after Ignite youth from 730pm-8:45pm. It's a great chance to hang out and play sports in the gym to blow off some steam. It also makes it easier for students who get their rides from a high schooler. Open Gym is open this week 11/12.
C4- most weeks students can stay later to hang out after Youth is over. This usually means that it's open hangout time after 8:45pm until roughly 9:30pm. Students are free to leave at 8:45 or stay later. "Latenight Youth" is open this week 11/12.
*Each week the times overlap by 1/2 hour, which is our "Large Group" time. Guest testimonies, Youth Worship, group games, seasonal events and special snacks are some of the amazing opportunities that youth have during this shared experience. We do this for many reasons. We believe there is great benefit in older teens using their gifts for Jesus in a way that mentors younger students. Fun, food and worship are great ways to experience joy and build community. We are striving to build unity between age groups, schools and friend groups.
Upcoming special Large Group events:
November 26 "Friendsgiving" Thanksgiving Meal (you bake)
November 12 Testimony Night- special guest
One of the best events of the year!
Woods, cabins, campfires, friends, games, lasertag, creek, manhunt, camp challenges, godly messages, praising God & so much more- it's the perfect get-away!
First ever! This year we enjoy the newly completed Dining Hall
with Special guest speaker Pastor Nigel and worship led by Luke G

Youth Permission Forms for 2025/2026 MUST be turned in to attend. (link located on CMF website under Youth section)
Times: Meet @CMF BETWEEN 5pm & 5:15pm Friday. There is a trailer to put your gear in.
we return Sunday afternoon approx 3pm. A REMIND message with exact ETA will be sent upon departure.
T-shirt: "early birds", be sure to input your size to get your free T-shirt.
Cost: We pay half the costs so it only costs you $95 for the weekend. This is all-inclusive: food, lodging, transportation, activities, curriculum, & sessions.
To bring: paper Bible, snack to share, refillable water bottle, sleeping bag, pillow, towel/washrag, hygiene items, clothing for indoors and for outdoors (look at weather day before), active shoes, coat, pen, flashlight.
cell phones: there is no need for cell phones at Camp, but students are permitted to bring them along for the van ride. During the weekend we ask that all cell phones be kept packed away. Our goal is create many opportunities to connect and this works better when cell phones are tucked away. There is little to no cell reception at Camp anyway.
fishing gear: there is an amazing class A Trout stream surrounding Camp that we have exclusive access to. Anybody interested in fishing during freetime can bring gear along.
money: NO cash is needed at Camp but Kanesatake staff usually will open the Camp Store Saturday for anybody who wants to purchase a souvenir or an extra snack. This is optional.
2025/2026 CMF Youth Permission Form: reminder that this must be on file with CMF before we leave.
this year we will play LaserTag in the woods. No special clothing needed but thought some of you may want to know this ahead of time. Camo anybody?!
Food and Meals: we eat good at Camp! Saturday, Camp serves all 3 meals Saturday as well as Sunday breakfast and lunch. Friday night there is no official meal, though we will have a special latenight snack! I highly recommend that students eat a supper before meeting to leave Friday evening (or pack something to eat during vanride out)
Contacting us at Camp: you can text Pastor Jim at Camp if you have an urgent need. Please note that sometimes reception is limited at Camp and it may be better to also send a message via Remind which connects via wi-fi. There is still a third option of calling Camp through their office.
Youth Sunday School is on pause during the CMF remodel.
We meet every Sunday morning for church at 9:15 in the old Trinity Lutheran Church across from CVS.
January Update: for now the problems have been addressed by the designers of this app. Hopefully, we will be trouble free for the year ahead. If problems arise again, we will replace this app with another plan.
A TECH UPDATE: BE AWARE: TECH ISSUES ARE SOMETIMES OCCURING WITH THIS CALENDAR APP. CONTINUE TO USE FOR NOW... We will continue to use as our main event information hub for as long as we can.
