Here are the programs Camp Akita offers for campers who have just graduated from high school in 2026:
* Camp Prices To Be Announced (TBA) by December 1, 2025
MEM = Active member of First Community NM = Non-Member
This is the camp session you do not want to miss! We go all out to ensure every camper enjoys a fresh, unforgettable experience at Camp Akita. We will wake up early, stay up late, and cram as many activities into the day as possible. There will be a full complement of options during the day from which our campers can choose. Some examples from last year are yoga, cooking, home made physics, and carpentry.
Campers will hear a nightly message from one of our staff members. They will have meaningful time to explore their faith -- sharing in cabin groups at night and small coed groups in the morning. Our emphasis to our high school campers is how to live out your faith. We hope that our high school campers leave Akita with confidence in their personal beliefs and the knowledge that there is a large faith community at Akita that accepts them for the unique being that they are.
* You must be age 19 or younger to attend a high school camp session.

L.I.F.E. Guard is an opportunity available for high school students looking for a service-based faith experience at Akita. The acronym L.I.F.E. means "Last Is First Eternal" and comes from Matthew 19:30: "But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first." This verse is a reminder of the spirit behind the work performed by this group. By doing much of the behind-the-scenes work that enables camp to run so smoothly for the campers, the participants learn how to give of themselves without seeking any credit or praise.
Session E is special because it is available only to students who have just graduated from high school. The summer after high school is one of the most unique periods of a teen's life, and the graduated senior session is an opportunity to bond with others at the same stage of life while deepening their faith through service.
* Each L.I.F.E. Guard session consists of camp segments. Between each segment, campers leave camp and spend one night at home. You must be age 19 or younger to attend these camp sessions.
L.I.F.E. Guard (LG) is an opportunity available for high school students looking for a service-based faith experience at Akita. The acronym L.I.F.E. means "Last Is First Eternal" and comes from Matthew 19:30: "But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first." This verse is a reminder of the spirit behind the work performed by this group.
A crew of high school students will devote up to two camp sessions to serving the camp, campers, and God. By doing much of the behind-the-scenes work that enables camp to run so smoothly for the campers, the participants learn how to give of themselves without seeking any credit or praise. The "Guard Experience" is the next step in the pursuit of a deeper understanding of their faith.
L.I.F.E. Guard sessions C, D, E and G consist of 2 summer camp sessions for each LG session. LG Session F includes 3 summer camp sessions.
Between each summer camp session, L.I.F.E. Guard leave camp and spend one night at home. L.I.F.E. Guard sessions A and B each only cover 1 summer camp session.
You must be age 19 or younger to attend these camp sessions.
