Camp United is back at Catalina Island’s Campus by the Sea—our annual summer camp for Students entering 9th–12th grade in the 2026–2027 school year, plus 2026 graduating seniors. It’s 4 days packed with insanely fun activities, powerful worship and teaching, and plenty of time to build real friendships. Everything about Camp United is designed to help students experience the life-changing power of Jesus and head home ready to be lights in their schools and communities.
Grades: 9th–12th Dates: June 16–19, 2026 (4 days/3 nights) Location: 1 Gallaghers Cove, Avalon, CA 90704 Cost: $499 | Deposit $100

You don’t have to be a Jesus follower to join in—just be ready to jump in. Invite your friends; all are welcome. There are only 210 spots available. Click your church location to register.
There will be a number of beachfront activities like paddle boarding, kayaking,, snorkeling, swimming, and fishing along with a ton of other activities like basketball, volleyball, spike ball, hiking trails, gaga ball, disc golf, and more.
Everything. We packaged camp registration, transportation, and food all into one price. The only additional cost would be extra spending money for the snack & gift shop at camp.
You only have to put $100 down to secure your spot. When you register, you will then select a payment plan to pay for your student’s camp over time on a schedule that works best for you.
The final payment is due Sunday, June 7, 2025. If you have not paid your full balance by June 7th and we have not heard from you, your student’s spot may be given away.
Yes! We offer scholarships on a need-to-need basis for families who cannot afford the full $499 amount. We require every family to invest what they can in their student's camp experience and then we work with you to help with the rest. Fill out this application.
We bring a team of 30 adult leaders to camp plus additional staff to ensure student safety throughout our time at camp. Campus by the Sea also provides a team of summer program staff for supervision.

No. There are limited spots for Camp United, so don't wait to register your student. If spots fill up, we will open a waiting list. If a registered student has to drop out of camp, we will begin contacting people on the waiting list on a first come, first serve basis.
We will take buses to the port in San Pedro, CA, then take a ferry to our camp on Catalina Island.
Phones are allowed, but there is no reception or wifi once we get to Campus by the Sea. The students will not be able to use their phones once we get to camp. If students need to call home, there are landline phones on the island for phone calls and emergencies.

Miscellaneous
We ask you to list three friends in the same grade on their registration form. While we cannot guarantee that we will be able to accommodate everyone, we try very hard to put students in cabins and groups with their friends.
If your student has to back out, refunds will be granted up until the final payment is due on June 7. After June 7th, we will no longer refund your money unless we can find a student to replace your student's spot.
No. Due to the location, it's all or nothing.
Feel free to email our Student Pastors at [email protected]. We will be more than happy to answer all your questions or concerns.
