The Point is a theatre-based overnight camp experience for Middle Schoolers and High Schoolers.  
 
Throughout camp we have games and events that are tailored toward developing your strengths, deepening your relationship with others, building confidence, and having FUN. Team spirit runs deep at The Point. Both the middle school and high school overnight camps will conclude with a variety show style showcase. The showcases are free and open to family and friends.
 
Most importantly, each day we set aside times to worship, pray, reflect, and delve into God’s word together. Our prayer is that every camper walks away knowing that they are perfectly loved by a Holy God. This year’s theme is Life in the Ensemble - Unity: we aren’t meant to do life alone. 
 
Join us as we explore what it means to walk in unity with God, and our brothers and sisters in Christ. Just like an ensemble is made up of many people with the same goal, so should our faith-walk be.

Lauren Leone Scholarship

Lauren Leone was a DuPage Chapter student who was in the midst of rehearsals when she unexpectedly suffered an aneurysm. As she struggled to survive, her CYT friends from the 17 productions she had been in gathered to pray, worship, and support one another. On February 2, 2015, Lauren went home to her Lord.

Since Lauren had been profoundly impacted by attending CYT Chicago's high school overnight camp held at Judson University, during her Celebration of Life, a memorial fund was established to continue Lauren’s legacy of sharing the love of Jesus through theater, but especially high school overnight camp.

Please fill out the application linked below and email it to kschinkel@cytchicago.org by May 2, 2025 to be considered for a Lauren Leone Scholarship for high school overnight camp in 2025. Recipients will be notified by May 23, 2025.
