Dwell Student Ministry Camps 5K

The Dwell Student Ministry Camps 5K is a benefit trail event held at Sharon Woods Metro Park in Westerville, Ohio on September 12, 2026. The event raises funds to help middle and high school students from Dwell Community Church attend week long summer camps outside the state.

The camps are described by organizers as week long trips where students visit a large outdoor space outside the state, have the autonomy to explore and enjoy nature, build spiritual friendships, and reflect on their beliefs. The race supports financial assistance so more students can participate in those camp experiences.
