SUMMER 2026 RECAP
SUMMER 2027
Join us for Bridge United: Go South at Somerset Beach Campground in Somerset, MI — a week of missions designed for 6th–12th grade students to serve, connect, and grow together in faith. From June 7-12, 2027, youth groups of all sizes will unite to make an impact by serving the community through their preferred style of missions — whether evangelism, ministry with a local church, work projects, or other outreach opportunities. Each day is spent serving as a church, while evenings bring everyone together for times of worship and connection with other youth groups. The week starts on Monday, and departure will be Saturday after breakfast. The early bird cost is $280 per student and $215 per chaperone if you sign up by December 31, 2026.
Registration opens soon!

How do I register as a church?
As you register as an individual, mark which church and city you are planning on attending with. You will then be paired with them as the room assignments are given. If you are coming with a church different than your primary place of worship, please register under the church name you plan on attending with.
