Sr. High Speaker ~ Dan Smith

Dan didn’t grow up in a religious home. Born and raised in Toledo, Ohio his family literally never went to church, which gives him a pretty unique perspective on faith. When he was 15 years old, Dan became a follower of Jesus through church camp. Ever since then, he has always had a passion for Jesus, Christian camps, & students. In 2005, Dan led the team that started Momentum Christian Church in Greater Cleveland, OH. He has a Master of Arts in Storytelling from East Tennessee State University. Dan serves as chaplain for local police & fire departments, and he regularly travels the country to preach & rap about Jesus.

All Youth, when you arrive at camp:

1. Check-in at the Registration Office.
2. Check-in at the Youth Office to have parent sign registration form.
3. Attend all youth services and participate in activities.

There is no youth program fee.
The Camp Board increased lot fees that made it possible to remove daily program fees for youth. We felt the program fee was a potential road block for some and want all youth to be at Brown City Camp. We also strongly encourage your local churches to sponsor the cost of staying in the dorms & meals. Many local Missionary Churches have scholarships, please check with your church.
