This year, we are heading back to Lost Canyon Retreat Center in Williams, AZ from November 13–15. The leadership at camp is our Christ Church team. We are thrilled to return to Lost Canyon this year for this event.

This year both Christ Church College and Christ Church Students will be at Lost Canyon on the same weekend. Main sessions, meal times, dedicated meeting spaces, and games will be separate, but we are excited to be there as one church!

We’re excited to have Josh Goertzen, Youth Pastor of Elevate (youth ministry) at Crossroads Church in Santa Clarita, CA preaching at FallFest this year!

This year, the cost for FallFest is $275 per student.

We would be glad to help you consider arrangements that would best serve your family. For families in financial hardship, a scholarship application is available. We feel the responsibility to carefully steward the resources of our church family and will take into consideration what is available and how we can help families in need.

If you would like to apply for a scholarship, please register for FallFest and pay the $50 deposit, and then fill out the scholarship application here.

Lost Canyon is a beautiful campus with many opportunities from pickleball, basketball, soccer, to coffee shops, game rooms, and more. There will be fun and engaging competitions that are sure to be a blast! FallFest is also meant to be a retreat for students as they are able to take a step away from their busy lives, spend time in worship, Bible teaching, and small group discussions.

Cash isn’t needed for any of their meals, but Lost Canyon has several snack/coffee shops and a merchandise store which are optional. They do accept cash. If your student won’t have a credit card, cash is an option for them.

Yes, the safety of our students is our first priority. Throughout the weekend, your student will be supervised by a background-checked and interview-approved leader. Each leader has completed a special process to ensure safety and protection of your student. Our leaders are caring, kind, and mature. We want you to know that not only will your student learn, grow, deepen their relationship with God, and have fun, but will be safe as well!

If your student has any medical issues or allergies that require medication, please note them on the registration form and bring the medication at the time of drop off. Please place your student's medications in a plastic bag with the student's name and a picture inside. All medications must be in original packaging with instructions. All medication will be turned over to our camp nurse. During their time at camp, nurses will distribute medication daily. It is your student's responsibility to take their medications as needed.

We will do our best to honor bunk requests. Please know there are several factors involved in group assignments, so we appreciate your understanding if we’re not able to accommodate your request.

We value your partnership in helping create a Christ-centered, distraction-free camp experience. For FallFest 2026, we’ve made the decision to implement a phone-free camp policy to allow students to fully disconnect from distractions and engage with God and one another.

Phones will be collected upon arrival to Lost Canyon and returned prior to getting on the bus for departure. We ask that you have a conversation with your student in advance so they know what to expect regarding the phone policy.

Thank you for helping us create an environment where students can focus on their spiritual growth and community at FallFest.

If needed, the best way to contact your child will be through their group leader. Leaders will have their phones and, while they will be busy with activities, will do their best to respond to calls in a timely manner. Your leader will share contact information prior to leaving for camp. Feel free to reach out to them as well to make sure you know how to stay connected.

We know how impactful a retreat can be in the lives of students. To help send students to FallFest, you can make a donation online‍ to the Next Gen fund at any time.

If your student can no longer attend FallFest, you are able to receive a refund up until October 30, two weeks before FallFest. Cancellations within two weeks before camp are not eligible for a refund.

Deposits are non-refundable.
