The gang is all back. With an all-star cast of seasoned Middle School Ministry veterans, this year’s Campference is stacked. Folks like Kurt Johnston, Heather Flies, Brooklyn Lindsey, Mark Oestreicher, Katie Edwards, Johnny Scott, and Scott Rubin will spend the entire weekend at camp pouring their lives into you and your team.

Don’t be fooled. This isn’t just a weekend full of lectures and long seminar blocks. There’s plenty of time for worship, play, and rejuvenation of your soul.

We listened to your feedback about location. This year we’ve moved Campference a few hundred miles south to SpringHill Camp in Seymour, Indiana making it more central and easy to get to for more middle school youth workers. We’re now within easy access to Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Louisville, and Columbus. And we’re 6 hours or less from Detroit, Grand Rapids, Cleveland, Chicago, St. Louis, Nashville, and Knoxville.

What’s great about Campference is that you get to enjoy all of the facilities and beauty of a great camp without being in charge. We’ve scheduled plenty of free time so you can use the zip line, guilt free.
 

Your conference registration covers all the basics. All you need to do is get to the camp. You don’t have to worry about picking restaurants, dealing with a hotel, tracking receipts, or paying for parking. When we say Campference is all-inclusive, it’s all-inclusive!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

What 2011 Campference Goers Said

It’s great to know I’m not alone in my love and passion for middle school
Matt

This unique event allows us to learn in a conference style while at the same time getting to hash out application in the laid back camp feel. It was also an incredible time of sharing life, ministry, joys and sorrows with other middle school ministers.
Billy

I’ve been going through a spiritual re-awakening, which has not been the most fun thing. This weekend made me face all of the issues I’ve been pushing aside. It’s been eye opening, personally gut-wrenching and transforming all at once.
Jody

Bringing middle school youth workers from various experiences together, learning, worshipping – the campference knocked it out of the park!
Nicole

Wait! There are other people like me? I think this is one of the main reasons I enjoyed the campference. To hang, talk, laugh, pray and cry with like-minded people.
Mark

What better way to learn how to treat middle schoolers than to be treated like middle schoolers.
Preston

MSMC rocked! As the least experienced campference attendee (4 weeks!), I absolutely loved it.
Tasha

I really feel refreshed and refocused coming here. I feel very encouraged to continue to use my gifts in ministry.
Megan

MSMC was a great time of sharing ideas with peers, discussing trends, and being encouraged and stretched. As a 28-year youth ministry vet, I’m telling you, you need to tell your church board to send your team.
Marcia

MSMC was just what I needed.
Molly

MSMC was a great experience! From late night silliness to deep discussions about the lives of middle schoolers, I truly feel energized and ready to do ministry.
Terry

MSMC was everything you love about camp – fireside chats, laughing until your sides hurt, worship, and the felling you’ve made an entire army of new friends who love random, awkward, authentic, and deeply impressionable middle schoolers. I left refreshed, encouraged, and challenged to go back and love middle schoolers and their parents to Jesus!
Elizabeth

Marko’s vision for the MSMC was clearly God-ordained. His passion for middle schoolers was evident in the plan for this campference – to bring together youth workers who share his passion, to provide an opportunity to talk to other youth workers doing what we do, to sit and think about why we do what we do. What an awesome experience to come together and be encouraged this way.
Sandy

The MSMC just confirmed the importance of middle school ministry and confirmed my calling from God to continue in this work.
