What is centrifuge?

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 the trained FUGE camp staff, who also leads the Bible study. Each activity serves a specific purpose and is debriefed so students can make applications 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 staff.

This year's theme: the good shepherd

Sheep are creatures that lack a sense of direction, leaving them defenseless and vulnerable without a shepherd. Unable to care for themselves, they can be quite stubborn. Sound familiar? Just as a shepherd protects and guides his sheep, rescuing them when they stray and meeting their needs, we have a Good Shepherd who does the same for us. He provides not only for our physical needs but also offers peace, restoration, presence, and an abundant life now and for eternity. We will dive into Psalm 23 and the life of David, a shepherd who later became King of Israel and the author of this Psalm.

1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.
3 He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,  I will fear no evil,
for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Psalm 23
