A Little About FUGE Summer Camp
Theme: “Into the Light” This year the 2025 theme is “Into the light” which will focus on the daily themes of SOURCE, SPARK, FUEL, and SHINE. The Bible studies will dig deep into the lives of Paul, Nicodemus, Jesus, His disciples, and Stephen.
Students are housed in the dormitories on campus at North Greenville University. Guys and girls in different dorms. There are two beds per room and room assignments will be made the week before camp.
A typical day at camp involves, the “AM Show”, Bible study and recreation in the morning. “Track times” which take place after lunch (includes indoor and outdoor, active and relaxed, spiritual and just for fun things), Free time in the afternoon to go relax, play games, hangout with friends, or some other activity together, Evening Worship and a message from the camp pastor, church group devotion time, and a “Night Life” (a fun themed activity or spiritual activity for the students to do together).
Camp Pastor and Worship Leader:
FUGE Camps have the best staff that are trained and work with students year after year. This summer along with many other amazing staffers our camp will be lead by:
Camp Pastor: Cliff Jordan
Worship Leader: Isaac Pittman
TRACK TIMES: (New this year!)
Fuge has decided that parents and students will select their tracks BEFORE camp this year while they complete the release wavier. (This was previously done on arriving at camp the first day.) I highly recommend that students and parents discuss this together before signing up their students for track activities. Pastor John recommends that students that want to coordinate tracks with each other talk in advance. But remember students are not guaranteed their first choice in track times.
Click the link below for a brief description of the track activities and important information about the tracks. Some tracks come with an additional cost or have restrictions.
You will need our Registration ID: 95888
You can watch this video below for a step by step instructions on selecting tracks.

The $415 includes all meals, camp fees, and a T-Shirt. (with the exception of a fast-food meal on the way to camp).
Students interact with hundreds of other students from around the Southeast and as a church group together. All students are looked after by their own church adult leaders and the excellent FUGE staffers. Westside has been attending FUGE camps for 35 years.

Missions:
Camp is a lot of fun, but don’t discount these students. They do some great work and ministry while at camp. Each year, the students have an opportunity to support a mission effort through prayer, through their giving of an offering, and some may feel lead to join the mission field in the future.
This year the offering will go to help two locations. Northern African and the Middle East as well as a local mission in Provo, Utah.

NITE LIFE THEMES and MEGA RELAY:
Blackout
Blackout is a thrilling race into the light! In this nighttime scavenger hunt, students will race across campus, solving clues to locate the Luminator (light bulb) to bring light back to camp before a total blackout takes over. Teams must work together to solve clues, find the light, and return to home base before time runs out. It’s an electrifying adventure full of teamwork, strategy, and high-energy fun.
Internal Spark
Internal Spark is a customizable Night Life experience designed to help students take ownership of their faith. Through prayer, worship, and scripture, students will reflect on their journey with God in a deeply personal way. Using various activity cards tailored to different spiritual practices, they’ll move through guided sections, including opportunities for reflection, prayer, or an interactive station.
Mega Relay
Mega Relay is a camp-wide relay race where Bible study groups compete against each other. This summer’s Mega Relay theme is Christmas. Encourage students to bring their favorite Christmas attire to wear during Mega Relay.
