About Us

Southwestern Leadership Camp is a great opportunity for AWANA youth. Camp is held at beautiful Idyllwild Pines and is the perfect end to a successful AWANA year. Camp is for clubbers who are currently in the 5th through 12th grades.

In order to earn the privilege to attend camp, 5th-6th graders must have at least received their Excellence Award, while 7th-12th graders must have completed an entire handbook and all reviews for the current year.

The focus of Southwestern Leadership Camp is

  • To train up disciples for Jesus Christ that would model a heart to serve Him and a desire to live for Him without reservation;
  • To help campers discover for themselves the importance of daily study in the Word and a willingness to share their own faith without reservation.

Keeping that focus in mind, camp is purposefully planned to include personal devotion time, meaningful Bible studies, dynamic Chapel services, passionate worship, and thought-provoking scripture memory

Camp is balanced with high-energy team activity times that will build relationships with both campers and leaders, as well as free time filled with opportunities to deepen their personal faith.

​Camp changes lives because “Decisions Determine Destiny!”
