What is CrüTech?
A holiday camp built for curious, creative high school students
CrüTech is a Christian camp for teens who light up around technology, games, design, problem-solving, and community. It is made for students who want more than just screen time. They get hands-on challenges, team activities, laughter, and space to ask real questions about life and faith.
Across the week, campers build skills, try new things, make great friends, and explore what the Bible says about the world they are growing up in now.
Learn by doing
Electives and challenges that reward curiosity, teamwork, and creativity.
Belong quickly
A warm, welcoming camp culture with shared interests and strong leaders.
Think deeply
Bible talks and discussion groups that connect faith with everyday life.
Is this camp right for my child?
Made for beginners, experts, and everyone in between
CrüTech is a great fit for students who enjoy games, coding, strategy, creativity, tech, problem-solving, or nerdy hobbies. No coding experience is required, and campers do not need to be highly competitive — the camp is designed for both beginners and experienced students.
Find people who like the same weird, nerdy, creative things you do. Build something. Break something. Fix something. Laugh a lot. Come for the games, stay for the friendships.
