Don’t let cost be a barrier – contact us if financial help is needed.

This Retreat will give you tools to survive & thrive when you are feeling some of these ways:

“My life has no meaning”
Disconnected
Confused
Lost and alone
“No one is there for me”
“There’s something different about me”
“My life sucks”
“I hate myself”
“I suck”
“I’m stupid”
“I’m a disappointment”
“I don’t know how to get help”
“I can’t do this anymore”
“I don’t want my life to be like this”
“I know people who want to die but I don’t know how to help them”
“I don’t know what’s happening to me, but I need help”
“I’m not ok”Whatever it is you are feeling is valid. And if you are not struggling right now, remember that it’s likely a friend, family member, or someone you love is feeling some of these things and is struggling. Or maybe you have felt this way in the past or might feel this way in the future. Taking time now to learn more about mental health while you are in a good space will help you in the future.

This camp is for Youth and Young Adults (ages 14-26).

Spanglish 2022 is taking place on July 8-10, 2022, at Angeles Crest Camp in Palmdale, CA.

This year’s theme “God is our refuge y nuestra fortaleza” is based on Psalm 91:2.

What is UMC Spanglish’s Vision?

Under the leadership of a team that involves faithful servants of God that are laity, clergy, young people, and key UMC Staff. The God vision is to become a model that can be duplicated and easily modified throughout the UMC connection with the purpose of creating mature disciples of Christ that will share Jesus with the world!

What makes UMC Spanglish unique?

Spanglish is an ongoing new bilingual/bicultural youth and young adults’ ministry (ages 14-26) that has served effectively for the past four years by using an intentional mentorship model through the Spanglish Design Team. The Team provides leadership and spiritual growth opportunities for our young people to receive hands-on training, and monthly meetings as we prayerfully put together the Spanglish event, and other ongoing discipleship and evangelical events throughout the connection targeting 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation Hispanic/Latino young people from all over our UMC connection.

We call on all members of the UM Connection to join us in prayer for our Hispanic/Latino youth and young adults and also for the 2022 Spanglish camp.
