Elim has a vibrant youth group that is active and involved all year long! During the school year, we meet on Wednesday afternoon and evenings (see schedule below) special events and retreats. In the summer, we continue to meet on Wednesdays doing a variety of activities, including service and bible/topical study. Also in the summer, we head out on a mission trip, ELCA Youth Gathering or adventure camp, and attend Summer Festival Camp at Gustavus Adolphus College in July. All are welcome!

White Water Rafting
June 22—June 29
Cost: $875
Grades 9-12
We are joining with the youth and leaders from Hosanna once again for our high school summer trip. We will be heading to beautiful Montana and Flathead Bible Camp and will spend three nights and four days white-water rafting on the North Fork of the Flathead river.
Being part of God’s creation in this pristine wilderness will be a transformative experience. In small ways, large ways, and even intangible ways, every person who embarks on this journey is changed forever.

An Elim Youth tradition!
For 4-jam packed days, teens have the chance to get away from real life, hang out with people from all across the Midwest, deepen friendships, and talk about God. Every day speakers come to share inspiring and challenging stories about real life, God, and where the two intertwine. The days are packed with fun surprises of all kinds. From the music, the movies, the games, the speakers, and club - all with laughter to tears - Summer Festival Camp really has something for everybody.
