Dallas Experience 2025: June Term

Dallas Experience is a fun four-day (overnight) camp experience hosted by Wake (Grades 6–8) for kids who live in apartments within walking distance of the South Dallas Campus. It is an outreach event intended to serve & invite kids who don’t currently attend Watermark South Dallas by introducing and connecting them to students. As Wake students serve at Dallas Experience, and welcome guests to the church, they will be strategically focused on service, leadership training, and engaging missionally with families in our local community.

This event is for students who will have just finished 6th, 7th, or 8th grade and are actively involved in a Watermark Small Group. Participants must meet all of the following criteria:

A) Follower of Jesus Christ
B) Able to teach others about Jesus
C) Willing to be spiritually accountable to Watermark leadership.

Who: 50 Students grade 6-8
PLEASE NOTE: In order to create the best possible experience for every student, we are implementing gender caps for both sessions this year. This means we will be limiting registration to 30 girls and 20 boys per term.

When registering, please be sure to follow the link below for the correct term and gender. This helps us streamline the process and honor every student's experience.
