Winter Camp 2025

February 14-17, 2025

Camp Jonah, Trout Lake, WA


Winter Camp is for our entire group of middle school and high school students.  We typically head to Camp Jonah in Trout Lake, Washington.  Winter Camp  is a great way for students to deepen their connections with our group of leaders and students, since Winter Camp is just Gateway!  It's also a helpful environment for students to hear about and deepen their understanding of what it means to follow Christ.  There will also be plenty of team games, snow activities (if there is snow), gym activities, singing, and time with your friends.


Thanks for great weekend of Winter Camp 2025.  Dates for next year's Winter Camp  2026 will be available in May and registration will open in December.
