Join

A youth ministry of Ukrainian Christian Youth in Germany e.V.

RELOAD CAMP is a Christian youth ministry that sets out to support churches in Ukraine and help teenagers grow in faith and in a personal relationship with God.

With the war going on in Ukraine, we want to stand by teenagers and churches, support them and create opportunities for spiritual growth, fellowship and mutual support.

We bring together Christians from Ukraine, Germany and Italy to serve the young generation together, share God’s love and strengthen teenagers in their faith.

What happens at RELOAD CAMP?

RELOAD CAMP is more than a camp. It is a time for friendship, spiritual growth, new experiences and genuine relationships. Here teenagers can be themselves, discover new things and grow in faith.
