2023 information

One Life 2023 will be held at Camp Cedar Falls in the San Bernardino Mountains from Friday, August 18 through Sunday, August 20. The event is open to incoming 9-12th graders who attend with an approved youth pastor/leader. This year’s theme is “Foundations,” and will explore stories of believers practicing foundational faith acts in the midst of crisis and loss.

The cost for One Life is $125/person. An Early Bird rate of $95/person will be available until July 1. Cost includes lodging, meals, program, and an exclusive One Life sweatshirt. Travel and supervision is the responsibility of the church group. All churches must provide medical clearance waivers signed by each youth’s parent in order to attend.

Registration can be done through a link shared by the youth pastor/leader. Churches will be billed by SECC after One Life for the amount of students and adults registered by the deadline of July 31. No additional registrations can be added after the deadline. Cancellations after the deadline will be charged the full rate.

Supply list: Attendants should plan to bring bedding/sleeping bag, pillow, appropriate attire for three days, closed toed shoes, a water bottle,  sunscreen, towel, and necessary toiletries. Church attire is not necessary. All youth must also submit a medical waiver to their leader.

Each church group is expected to provide two adult sponsors (male and female) per 10 youth. All adults who attend must register with their church group and must be fully vetted. Church groups are also expected to provide two student Jesus Experience Leaders per eight youth. A full list of leadership expectations can be provided by the Youth Department.

Attendants are expected to follow the guidelines of Camp Cedar Falls and the Southeastern California Conference. Failure to do so may result in being asked to leave without refund.

We look forward to enjoying a special One Life weekend with you!
