FUSION 2025 |
For middle school, high school, and blended youth groups. Bring your youth to Cedarkirk for a weekend of fellowship, games, great meals, and plenty of large and small-group time to expand the depth of your students’ faith. Regardless of whether your youth group is large or small, your youth will make new friends from other churches in the presbytery and experience camp together in the cool(ish) weather. We’re excited for you to join us for this exciting weekend of faith development and community-building.
