A camp where students will engage in a daily activity to promote church unity and spiritual conversations through worship services, recreational activities, breakout discussions, free time activities and tournaments, and church group times.
M3 stands for
moment, mission, and movement.
It is our desire that M3 camp would be a place where students would have a moment with Jesus Christ that would change their life. But we don’t want it to stop there. We hope this moment propels them into mission beyond the campground into their home, schools, and places of recreation. Ultimately, our prayers are that this would lead to a gospel movement of students to reach Texas and impact the world with the Gospel.
M3 camp is intentional about evangelism. Students will clearly hear the gospel and lost teens will be given an opportunity to profess Christ as their Lord and Savior. M3 also wants to challenge students to live evangelistically in their communities and to live missionally in the world. We offer breakout sessions to help students maintain and grow in their relationship with Christ and we utilizes small group experiences to promote discussion, prayer, fellowship, and encouragement.
So, what can you expect from M3 Camp?
We’ll keep evangelism and missions as a central focus.

Endeavors to help students learn how to live their faith out in their homes and communities.

Can I update church registration numbers?
One of the most important pieces to your pre-camp planning is lodging. Our team wants to provide you your lodging a few weeks before your arrive to camp. To help us do so we need all church groups to update their registration numbers on a monthly basis. Doing so will allow our team to assign cabins with greater precision and communicate your cabin assignments easier.
Can we customize our church's camp experience?
You spoke, we listened. You can now customize your camp schedule to better fit your students needs.
All churches are welcome to complete the form but requests will be honored according to who registered first. The morning and afternoon recreation time slots are limited, half of the registered campers in the morning and half in the afternoon (this assumes all groups choose recreation provided by the STBC Summer Staff).
