2026 NWA Mini-Camp

Keynote Speaker: Caleb Anderson

August 29–30, 2026

Camp Barnabas | Purdy, Missouri

For students entering grades 9–12


Get ready for an unforgettable weekend of faith, friendship, and team building at the 2026 NWA FCA Mini Camp!


This overnight camp is designed to help student-athletes grow in their relationship with Christ while building stronger connections with teammates before the school year is in full swing. Campers will experience engaging worship, biblical teaching, small-group discussions, team activities, and plenty of fun.


Huddle Groups


Campers will be placed in Huddles (small groups) with teammates from their school whenever possible. If only a few students register from a school, groups may be combined with campers from another school to create a meaningful Huddle experience.


Cost


$75 per camper


Registration includes:

  • Overnight lodging at Camp Barnabas
  • 4 meals
  • Official camp T-shirt
  • FCA Athlete's Bible
  • A copy of Stop Lying to Yourself by keynote speaker Caleb Anderson


Keynote Speaker


Caleb Anderson serves on the North Central Arkansas FCA staff and is passionate about encouraging student-athletes to pursue an authentic relationship with Christ.


Check-In


Campers should arrive between 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. on Saturday. Our staff will be stationed at the entrance to direct you to the check-in location and assist with unloading luggage. Please do not arrive before 11:30 a.m. so our team has time to prepare. If you need to arrive before 11:30 a.m. or after 12:30 p.m., please contact the Camp Director in advance.


Pick-Up


Camp concludes at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday. Lunch will be provided before departure, and parking instructions for pick-up will be shared during check-in. We ask that parents arrive promptly at 1:00 p.m. for camper dismissal.


Scholarships


We never want finances to keep a student from attending camp.
