Royal Youth Summer Camp 2026

Summer Camp is one of the major highlights of the year for us here at Royal Youth and in any young person’s life! It is an incredible experience where we go away for a few days and truly encounter the presence of God and build relationships with others that will last a lifetime.

There is so much to do at Summer Camp, anything from the skate park, to the basketball court, the massive high jump, and the giant blob – a must in the lake! There is also insane Tribal Wars, powerful praise and worship, and inspiring preaching that will undoubtedly change your life. Summer Camp is a great experience that no Middle School or High School student should miss out on! We cannot wait to party with you at Summer Camp this summer!

After Service Water Baptisms | DT

Water baptism is an outward display and celebration of your inward decision to trust Christ with your eternity!

It’s also an act of obedience, a step of acknowledgement that is representative of the fact that Jesus died on the cross, was buried and walked out of the grave, alive, so each of us could have eternal life.

When you step into the water, you are letting the world know that you have walked into a new life of faith in Jesus Christ and that you are committing to follow him down a new path.

DEVOTED 2026 | Women’s Conference

Hey Sweetheart,

So glad you have found yourself looking at this page as we look ahead to Devoted 2026 and all God wants to do and continues to do in our midst. How wonderful that each year He comes and challenges changes and encourages us to be all He has created us to be!

Our theme for 2026 is ‘HE IS’, and those two little words encapsulate so much more than we can even fathom. He is Almighty God creator of the heavens and earth. He literally holds the whole world in His hands, yet He is personal enough to know each strand of hair on your head. He is holy and righteous, giver of life itself, majestic and powerful yet close enough to know all that is happening in each of our lives. He created us to know Him, and be known by Him, to worship and adore Him, and He wants to fulfill us in ways we cannot even imagine. And all He wants is our heart and our devotion. His boundless love knows no end.

Even as I type these words I sense the Holy Spirit speaking. I know He’ll be very present. I know we’ll never be the same.
So this is our invitation to you. To come. Come and be a part of what can only be described as a God-breathed, heaven kissed environment for us girls. It truly won’t be the same without YOU!

You are dearly loved,

Sharon Kelly
& the Devoted Team
