Join us for Examen Camp

June 21-26, 2026

*Note: The Examen Camp is for Juniors through graduating Seniors

Come explore how God might be calling you to lead in His kingdom for His purpose. You will engage in a fun class with special events, trips, and meaningful time connecting with God in new ways. You’ll take a dual-enrollment class while living on Indiana Wesleyan University’s campus, so you can experience what college life is really like and earn college credit along the way. Yes, you read that right, this is the only program like this in the country that you can earn college credit.

Plus, you’ll jump into tons of games, activities, and unforgettable moments with other students who are wrestling with the same big questions you are. Together, you’ll build deep friendships that could last a lifetime.

Here’s the wild part: Examen Camp normally costs about $600, but for you it’s only $100 total. Just a $50 registration fee and a $50 tuition fee. Everything else is fully covered by scholarships. The only thing you pay for beyond that is getting to campus and getting back home afterward.

Extra Information: And the experience doesn’t end when camp is over. Examen includes a unique “in the church” partnership, where you’ll continue learning and growing with your home church after your time on campus, helping you live out what you’ve discovered and explore God’s call in real life.
