Our Story
Annual Easter Camp Meeting: Celebrating Excellence
Since its inception, the Annual Easter Camp Meeting at Haven for Teens has been a beacon of inspiration, growth, and transformation for young people. Each year, we gather with a specific theme aimed at fostering personal and spiritual development among teenagers and young adults.
Year 2022: The Winning Teenagers

Testimonials from participants highlighted how they gained confidence, resilience, and a renewed sense of purpose during the camp.
Year 2023: The Jesus Teenagers
In 2023, we focused on “The Jesus Teenagers,” exploring what it means to live a life modeled after Christ. Through deepening their understanding of Jesus’ teachings and example, attendees were inspired to embody love, compassion, and servant leadership in their communities. Testimonials echoed the profound impact of encountering Jesus in a personal and transformative way during the camp.
Year 2024: Excellence
As we look forward to our upcoming camp meeting scheduled between March 28th and 31st, 2024, our theme is “Excellence,” drawing inspiration from Titus 2:6-8. This year, we are dedicated to cultivating a culture of excellence in every aspect of our lives – academically, spiritually, and personally. Through keynote sessions, workshops, and practical exercises, we will equip young people to pursue excellence with diligence, integrity, and humility.
