CAMP DIRECTOR: DR. MICHAEL CRAMER

Dr. Michael L. Cramer directed Real Power Youth Camp from 2001-2014.  During this time, the camp reached thousands of teenagers for Jesus Christ and equipped them to follow Jesus in life.  As the Lead Pastor of New Life Church, Pastor Michael is excited to bring back Real Power Youth Camp in a new and improved way.  The authentic and engaging preaching of God’s Word combined with the dynamic music from the band led by Pastor Jake Hueni will bring a powerful environment for the Holy Spirit to reach and teach teenagers for Jesus Christ.  The strategic partnership with thriving churches will bring excitement and wisdom to the leadership and will also bring a statewide community of believers for teenagers to grow in life and faith with.  This will be an unforgettable week that will change lives!


CAMP SPEAKER: PASTOR JOE THOMAS
