Axis Summer Camp 2027

Youth camps offer an incredible opportunity for students to disconnect from the distractions of everyday life and connect deeply with God. They often lead to life-changing experiences, spiritual breakthroughs, and lasting impacts. Held annually in January, Axis Summer Camp helps students start their year with renewed vision and godly momentum.

The camp includes powerful worship services, impactful preaching, morning devotions in nature, leadership-focused activities, team-building fun, shared meals, and much more! While each year’s program may vary slightly, the core mission remains the same: to create an environment where students can encounter Jesus in a fresh and meaningful way.

We want every high school student from grades 8-12 to be there, and we are committed to removing any barriers that might prevent them from attending. If there is any way we can help your child attend Summer Camp, please reach out at [email protected]. Thank you for letting us partner with you!

Camp Theme
In a world relentlessly shouting for students’ attention and tempting them to focus on themselves, we are calling for a radical shift. The heart behind this year’s theme, “Make Much of Jesus,” is simple: glorifi cation. Our vision for this camp is to inspire students to magnify Jesus in their motives, actions, and choices—turning away from self-absorption to embrace every opportunity to make much of Him with their lives.

Drop Off
Students should be dropped off on Thursday 07 January 2027 at The Life Church South Africa by 8am. The bus will leave at 8:30am sharp. The church address is 10 Century Blvd, Unit 4 Riversands Outlet Park, Fourways, 2156.

Pick-Up
Students should be picked up on Saturday 09 January 2027 from The Life Church South Africa at 12pm.
