The Youth Right to Life Retreat is a purpose-filled experience designed to equip and inspire youth to make life-affirming choices in a culture of confusion. Rooted in faith, truth, and identity, it empowers teens to live with intention, integrity, and impact.
Camp C.H.O.I.C.E (Children Having Opportunities in Creating Environments) offers mentorship, positive experiences, and guidance to help youth make wise decisions and stand confidently for life.
We believe choosing well means knowing your identity, valuing every life—from the womb to the world—and standing for truth, even when it’s hard.
The retreat includes dynamic workshops, interactive sessions, worship, and fun community-building. Pre- and post-retreat activities extend the experience, fostering deeper connection and growth.
Together, we’re raising a generation that chooses life—boldly and unapologetically.
