Pastor Mike Kelsey currently serves as Lead Pastor for Preaching and Culture at McLean Bible Church in the Washington, D.C. area.

After receiving his Bachelor of Arts in Rhetoric and Political Culture in 2004, Mike went into full-time ministry with the Luis Palau Association, helping organize evangelistic festivals in major U.S. cities and eventually accepted the call to join the pastoral staff at McLean Bible Church in 2007. He has a passion to advance the Gospel in multiethnic contexts and longs to see emerging generations invest their lives for the glory of God. He is married to his college sweetheart, Ashley, and they have three young children, Ava; Michael, III; and Jackson.

Vertical Worship
Based in Chicago, Vertical Worship is a collective of Worship Leaders and Songwriters from multiple campuses across Harvest Bible Chapel. Their songs include “Open Up The Heavens”, “Spirit of the Living God”, “Exalted Over All”, “Lamb of God”, Found in You” & “The Rock Won’t Move”.
The idea that worshiping Jesus Christ is best done not when we just sing about him or what he has done or what he will do in the future. The highest and best worship is modeled by what the angels do: sing to God about God. Vertical.
Their latest release is a studio album with the most popular songs from the history of Vertical Worship re-imagined with new and exciting arrangements for Worship Leaders and worship music enthusiasts.

Skit Guys
The Skit Guys are Tommy Woodard and Eddie James, who have been best friends since high school. They fell in love with acting through their involvement in the school’s theater productions, and discovered they had a knack for making people laugh. When Tommy invited Eddie to church, everything changed. With encouragement and guidance from their youth pastor, the guys started to write and perform skits for their youth group. No longer was it just about making people laugh-their skits now had a bigger purpose. Since their high-school days, they’ve been writing and performing hilarious and poignant skits live and on camera.
Tommy and Eddie have traveled the world performing for families at events, churches, and conferences. Their SkitGuys.com website has grown into a treasured media resource for families, pastors and churches. Their numerous short films, skits, and scripts are used to reach families all over the world. When The Skit Guys aren’t performing or shooting new short films, both Tommy and Eddie serve in their local churches, enjoy good food (especially pizza and fries!), and love life with their families.
Myrtle Beach Convention Center
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 for the summer of 2022.
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.
