"Take courage; I have overcome the world." — John 16:33
Inspired by the upcoming World Youth Day 2027 in Seoul, South Korea, Kamp Konnect 2026 adopts the same theme from John 16:33: "Take courage; I have overcome the world." This message reminds every young person that courage is not the absence of fear or difficulty. It is the strength to keep going, to choose what is good, and to face life with hope even when things feel uncertain.
Although the theme is rooted in Christian scripture, Kamp Konnect welcomes girls from all backgrounds. The message of courage speaks to everyone: courage in friendship, courage in learning, courage in leadership, courage in service, courage in faith, and courage in becoming the person one is called to be.
What does it mean to "Take Courage"?
- Choosing hope over fear
- Facing challenges without giving up
- Standing for what is good and true
- Being kind, even when it is difficult
- Encouraging others and accepting support
- Growing in confidence, friendship, service, and purpose

Electronics Use Policy
🌐 Wi-fi is not available for kampers 🌐
📵 No cellphone use during the kamp
Over the years, we have found that phones and other gadgets can interfere with the genuine trust-building and meaningful connections that should naturally develop between campers and volunteers during a residential camp experience. We encourage you to support your daughter in "unplugging" by leaving all her gadgets at home, so she can be fully present and engaged. Please ensure that any important arrangements are discussed with her before camp begins.
🚫 No electronic gadgets allowed
This includes, but is not limited to, laptops, iPads, iPods, MP3 players. and other handheld systems. We want to embrace the beauty of real-world connections! 🌟
