From waymarkfoster.org/programs/journey-weekend ↗About this program
Journey Weekend invites teens ages 12–17 from foster, adoptive, and group homes to an unforgettable weekend camp in the North Georgia Mountains. Through high and low ropes courses, team challenges, art, sports, and roundtable talks, teens build confidence, develop social and emotional skills, and grow in character and resilience.
Highlights include Chapel, a surprise birthday party celebrating each teen, and special experiences like an offsite camping trip for older boys and a spa time for older girls. Campers leave with a photo album capturing memories, encouraging mail from volunteers, and a goodie bag to remind them that they are deeply valued and loved. Above all, Journey Weekend is a place where teens encounter hope, purpose, and the life-changing love of Christ.
