Challenge 2026
July 13-17 • Kansas City, Missouri
Challenge is the EFCA’s biennial national gathering for students 7th through 12th grade.
We are committed to helping youth leaders plant and water the gospel among the next generation so that students will experience the joy of knowing Jesus.
There are dozens of youth conferences, camps and mission trips you could choose from, so why choose Challenge?
Watch the video.
Challenge blends aspects of a conference, a mission trip and a camp to create a catalytic environment that moves beyond the mountaintop moment to build missional momentum within your group.
