At Centrifuge, students are divided into groups for recreation and Bible study based on age ranges by grade completed
Recreation is facilitated within Bible study groups by a member of our trained FUGE Camps staff, who also leads the Bible study. Each activity serves a specific purpose and is debriefed so students can make application in their lives.
Students also participate in Track Times. Track Times are created to give students the opportunity to participate in something with which they are familiar, or try something new! Students are divided into “tracks” based on a list of activities they indicate during the registration process. We offer creative, active, performance, and classroom-based activities during these times, and each track is led by a member of the FUGE Camps staff.

Centrifuge Specific Frequently Asked Questions
Is recreation competitive sports?
No. Centrifuge recreation is adventure rec, group building initiatives. We debrief recreation to tie into Bible study and our faith journey. We want all students to enjoy recreation, not just the athletic ones.
We run Mega Relay as a Night Life option. It is a camp-wide relay race with several events running consecutively performed in Bible study groups. It is a race against the clock to see who can complete the race in the shortest time. So, this event is competitive. It is a staple to FUGE Camps, and students love it.
What are track times?
Track times are afternoon special-interest classes where students either learn something new or have fun with an activity they enjoy. These classes range from creative tracks such as drama and creative movement to classroom tracks like spiritual gifts to active tracks such as basketball and volleyball.
New for 2025, Centrifuge students will choose their track time preferences before arriving at camp. Parents and students will select preferences together during the camp waiver process, which is required for track assignments.
How are students placed into Bible study groups?
Students are put into Bible study groups with students from other churches by grade completed based on the following: 6-8th grade, 9-10th grade, and 11-12th grade.
What approach do you use for Bible study?
Our Bible study sessions are 45-50 minutes and are guided-discovery learning. In other words, no strict lecturing. We incorporate activities and discussions to help students retain and apply truths to their life.
All Bible study leaders must teach from the Bible Study Leader Guide and follow the teaching plans there. Staffers are not allowed to go rogue and teach their own plan. Lessons are built around a thematic plan that encompasses all elements of camp.
In addition to the Bible study time, we build a quiet time into the schedule. Each student receives a Camp Guide with quiet times included. They are given 15 minutes daily before Bible study to have a personal devotional time with God.
How do I know that your material is trustworthy?
All Bible study materials go through a theological review and an outside editor to ensure that they are biblically sound and appropriate for the given audience.
