The 2025 United Youth Camps season will be here soon, and we are looking forward to another exciting and uplifting camp season. Registration is now open for campers and staff at https://www.ucg.org/members/uyc.

Please take note of an important change taking place next year. Starting in 2026, the youngest age for teen camp will move to 13 instead of 12. Our 12-year-old campers will continue to be accepted as campers at pre-teen camp.

This change, which is a return to our prior practices, will better align the programs with their respective age groups. It will also help in reducing overcrowding at some camps, which have become quite full in recent years.

To clarify, for next year’s 2026 camp season, campers must be 13 years old by Aug. 1, 2026 (meaning they must be born before Aug. 1, 2013) to attend a teen camp that summer. We wanted to let you know about this change now for the 2026 camp season, so everyone can plan accordingly.
