Worship Leader
North Point Worship
North Point Worship is a collective of worship leaders, song-writers, and creatives from North Point Ministries in Atlanta, GA. Our heart’s desire is to equip the local church with songs that exalt the name of Jesus, inspire people to follow Him, and ultimately join the story of God’s goodness being told from generation to generation.
Read MoreTelling that story can get messy. Our journey with God is often full of both celebration and tragedy, faith and doubt, surrender and caution. But, we believe the ebbs and flows of our life with God are what make it beautiful enough to fight for, and we hope our songs inspire you to wrestle too. We serve a God who meets us in the middle of it all, and for that, we’re grateful.

TRANSPORTATION
We recommend you have transportation available throughout your week at camp. Some properties are not located within walking distance and will require group leaders to provide transportation to the Convention Center. If you plan to bringing buses, we recommend you have a standard size vehicle to use for those late night runs to grab ice cream for your awesome adult leaders or any other unexpected situations that may arise.
SLEEP
Student Life has partnered with some area hotels and condos so you can book your own rooms at a discounted rate! This gives you the flexibility and control to have the number of rooms & types of rooms you need to best accommodate your group! Want to arrive 1 day early or stay an extra night? Coordinate your needs with the housing option of your choice! Head over to the Beach Page to find more details (select the Myrtle Beach button).
MEALS
For the past several years we have worked to provide meal options at Beach Camp.
Due to increases in costs of food and labor, we’ve determined it would be difficult to offer an acceptable quality and quantity of food at a price point that would be reasonable for you to pay.
We understand this may come as a disappointment. Our goal in providing meals has always been to make your camp experience as easy as possible. However, we never want to make a promise that we can provide an affordable, quality option when we continue to get disappointing responses from catering companies on what they are able to provide.
We are working on some information to include ideas and options that may help make meals at beach camp as easy as possible. For example, the Myrtle Beach Convention Center has concession stands they may open. We are working on compiling options and ideas to help you dream up a better and more affordable week of camp for your students.
The Myrtle Beach Convention Center Concessions will take pre-orders for Lunch options. All orders must be placed no later than 1 week prior the start date of the event.
