about fuge camps
In 1979, Centrifuge opened its doors as a youth summer camp for students who have completed 6th-12th grade. Centrifuge was created with the idea of sending teens at camp to different experiences while fixing them to an immovable center– a relationship with God.
Now known as FUGE Camps, our camp model combines small group Bible study with recreation, track times, worship, and church group time. In 1995, we added MFuge, where we arrange different mission experiences for you and your students to participate in. We take care of core essentials like lodging, meals, programming, and activities so that you and your leaders can focus on building relationships.
Since those humble beginnings more than 40 years ago, almost two million people have experienced FUGE Camps! We’re excited to continue to provide a trustworthy, fun, and memorable Christian summer camp for decades to come.
OUR TWO CAMP EXPERIENCES
CENTRIFUGE
AT CENTRIFUGE, STUDENTS EXPERIENCE FUN, RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES ALONGSIDE DAILY BIBLE STUDY.
What is Centrifuge? During Centrifuge, students are divided into groups for recreation and Bible study based on age ranges by grade completed. Students will participate in track times where they can participate in activities like basketball, creative, sign language, and more! Our staff lead all activities, Bible study, and worship time.
Each activity at Centrifuge is intentional to tie into the spiritual theme for the day, enjoy time with peers, and give students the chance to try something new.
MFUGE
AT MFUGE, STUDENTS WILL JUMP INTO MINISTRY AND SERVE IN LOCAL COMMUNITIES.
What is MFuge? During MFuge, students are divided into different groups for Bible study and ministry sites based on the type of work they request. We provide all programming and connect with local ministries to give students different areas to serve—everything from food banks to painting, construction, and yardwork.
MFuge is designed to give students a mission experience that opens their eyes to similar opportunities to serve in their own communities, learning to live life each day on mission!
