Youth Ministry

The youth educational ministry at Camp Hill Presbyterian Church provides programs for middle school and high school age youth.

Really Awesome Presbyterian Youth a.k.a. RAP YOUTH is a program specifically designed for middle school age youth in grades 5 - 8. Through involvement in educational, mission and social activities, the group learns what it means to be a Christian in today’s world. This group meets regularly on Sundays in the Tower Room (stairs from the West Narthex) from 9:40 to 10:30 AM with social and mission activities scheduled and announced by the RAP youth advisors. 

Presbyterian Youth Connection (PYC) is specifically designed for high school age youth. The group meets on Sunday mornings at 9:40 AM in the Youth Room. Sunday topics for discussion are geared toward the social, emotional and spiritual needs of those youth in grades 9 through 12. Social and mission are also an important part of this groups activities.

CONFIRMATION TRAINING, a part of the offering for eighth or ninth graders, prepares youth to answer the question, "Who is my Lord and Savior?" The programs involves monthly classes and a mentor for one-on-one involvement with youth as they explore their faith and define a personal Statement of Faith. 

MISSION TRIPS - Each summer middle and/or high school students may participate in mission trips that are sponsored by our church.   Adults and youth 15 years old and older are welcome to serve as we build and rehabilitate homes for the elderly, physically challenged and working poor in rural Maine on the MATE Trip.  Middle and high school students often attend a week long community service focused mission trip to various parts of the country. Previously, mission trip sites have included: Niagara Falls; Tennessee; Virginia; and Ohio.

YOUTH SUNDAY - Each spring the youth of CHPC conduct our Youth Sunday worship services, which includes Senior Recognition and our annual Youth Musical.

KRISLUND CAMP- Krislund is the church camp owned by the 146 churches of Carlisle, Huntingdon and Northumberland Presbyteries.  Krislund has a wide array of summer camp opportunities for kids in grades K-12, as well as conference and retreat facilities.  CHPC strongly encourages our young people to sign up for a week (or more) of camp.  We have campership funds available to assist you with the fees - just contact the church office for more information. 

Please contact Pastor Robin Reilly for more information about any of our youth programs.
