CAMP THEME: DEFY THE ODDS

This year’s Idaho Youth Summit is all about pushing past doubt, challenging stereotypes, and finding the courage to step into your full potential. Strength comes from building confidence, standing up for what matters, and discovering friendships in unexpected places. No matter what obstacles stand in your way, you have the power to rise above and prove what you’re truly capable of.

CELEBRATING 30 YEARS!

Get ready for another unforgettable week at Idaho Youth Summit! For 30 years, we’ve been bringing together teens from across Idaho for an experience packed with friendships, laughs, and lifelong memories. This year, we’re bringing all the fan favorites—dynamic speakers, a lake cruise, dance parties, Lutherhaven’s top-tier challenge course, drug-prevention workshops, and so much more. Don’t miss out on the best week of the summer—join us for a week you won’t forget.
