FAQs

  • STS Camp targets students from sixth grade through seniors in high school. Due to insurance regulations, it is STS’s policy to require each person to be in the sixth grade or at least twelve years of age. Because we try to effectively minister to such a wide range of students, please refrain from bringing younger children unless you acquire special permission from STS

Student Pastor Stories

  • Heath D. | Toney, AL

    STS has become more than a resource for the ministry I shepherd, it’s become a group of people that are foundational to my ministry life and personal life. From the top of leadership to each intern, STS cares about the Gospel and how it impacts people. STS loves the flock, and they work diligently to see the bride of Christ made much of for God’s glory. To boil it down, they love people because they love Christ.

  • Tylar B. | Clinton, TN

    Camp is our super bowl for summer & truly I trust STS with all of my heart to invest, equip & care for my students for their camp experience. Seeing the growth that happens in such a short amount of time is something that is truly supernatural. From the prep to execution from the STS team, they make a way for the Holy Spirit to make that happen year in & year out!
