YOUTH
MANNAHOUSE YOUTH
A community of middle school and high school students across Portland, Tigard, and Vancouver who believe Jesus is worth everything.
Wednesday Nights
- Every Wednesday | 6:30 to 8:30 PM
- Wednesday nights are the heartbeat of our ministry. Every week students gather for fellowship, worship, a deep dive into the Word, and free food. Whether you've been at church your whole life or you've never set foot in one, there's a seat for you.
One Conference
- ONE Conference | February 19-21st
- Once a year we throw the biggest youth event in the Pacific Northwest. Three days of worship, teaching, and encounter designed to mark a generation. Held every February at Mannahouse Church.
Youth Camp
- Youth Camp August 18-21st at Washington Family Ranch
- Every August we load the buses and head to Washington Family Ranch for a week of camp. Cabins, games, worship, teaching, and the kind of memories that last way past the bus ride home.
LEARN MORE ABOUT YOUTH CAMP!
Jesus said it to a woman who came to a well empty and left overflowing:
“Whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” — John 4:14
Every one of us is thirsty for something — to be known, to be enough, to matter. We keep going back to wells that leave us empty. Living Waters is about the only Source that doesn’t run dry.
The first drink. Camp starts with an encounter — meeting Jesus as the One who actually satisfies. This is justification: not earning our way to God, but receiving the living water He freely gives. It’s the moment everything changes.
The spring that keeps welling up. But Jesus didn’t stop there. He said that water becomes a spring inside you. That’s sanctification — the ongoing transformation that flows out of the encounter and keeps shaping who you’re becoming long after camp ends.
Over four days, students will worship, dig into Scripture, talk it out in their cabins, and have space to respond — so the water they drink at camp becomes a spring they carry
If you’ve never been, here’s the honest version: it’s a lot of fun, and it tends to be the highlight of the year. A normal day looks like this:
• Mornings: espresso stand, breakfast, and a worship session built for students
• Midday: field and pool olympics, free time, and lunch — sometimes poolside
• Afternoons: hang with your cabin, the pool, the rec center, or just chill
• Nights: themed-night services that go hard — worship, a message, and time to respond, then cabin time and free time before lights out
Themed nights this year: bring fits for
• Rodeo Night, Tropical Night, and Team Colors/Wig Night.
Camp is open to all middle school and high school students (grades 6–12) — whether you’ve been at Mannahouse your whole life or you’re coming for the very first time.
New here? You belong. You don’t need any church background, you don’t need to know anyone, and there’s zero pressure. Most students come with a friend — so grab one and come together. Bringing a friend or a sibling is the best way to do camp!
• 3 nights of lodging at Washington Family Ranch
• All meals from dinner on day one through departure
• Round-trip charter bus transportation from the Portland campus

Leave at home: vapes/alcohol/anything illegal, and valuables you’d be sad to lose. Phone policy will be shared before camp.
Check-in happens at the PORTLAND CAMPUS on the morning camp begins, and charter buses take everyone up to Washington Family Ranch together (with a stop along the way). Buses bring everyone back to the PORTLAND CAMPUS at the end of camp.
Prefer to drive your own student? You can choose that option during registration. Specific check-in times, the return-time estimate, and campus details will be sent to every registered family before camp.
$410 per student covers lodging, every meal, transportation, activities, and a t-shirt.
We never want money to be the reason a student misses camp. Scholarships are available — just request one during registration or reach out to our team.

BE ON THE DREAM TEAM
Camp doesn’t happen without the people who serve in it. Give four days, point students to Jesus, and watch God move — you’ll get back far more than you give.
The students who come to camp remember the leaders who showed up for them — the cabin leader who stayed up talking, the volunteer who learned their name, the work crew member who kept everything running. Serving at camp is one of the most direct ways to disciple the next generation and to be stretched in your own walk with God.
