NGU Hosts FUGE Camps in Tigerville for 42nd year
Posted on: July 28, 2026
Tigerville, SC—Middle and highs school students from across the country heard the gospel shared at FUGE Camps in Tigerville this summer.
North Greenville University (NGU) has been a host site for the camp for 42 years.
“We have had a great summer of FUGE Camps. We had 5,491 participants over seven weeks of camp.” said Billy Watson, Senior Associate Vice President for Tigerville Operations, who has been a part of 37 camps during his time at NGU. “For the summer here at NGU we saw 156 students saved, 143 students rededicate their lives, 98 students answer the call to Christian vocations and 116 students make other decisions or commitments.”
NGU alumni and board of trustee member, Travis Agnew said he was able to see many young lives changed during the final week of FUGE, as he served as campus pastor.
“I am grateful for what God did throughout the week,” said Agnew. “We saw students trust Christ, make life-changing decisions, and commit to following him more faithfully.”
The theme throughout the week was Good Shepherd, and Agnew taught from Psalm 23. Throughout the week, Agnew witnessed students’ deep longing for the Word.
“Students are hungry for truth. We saw 67 students profess faith in Jesus and another 67 accept a call to ministry or missions,” he said.
As students go from camp back to their everyday life, Agnew’s prayer is that they will continue in their discipleship journey by having an intentional relationship with Christ.
“My prayer is that those decisions would turn into discipleship. I provided a Bible reading plan for them after camp. And I encouraged student leaders to follow up with personal plans of discipleship,” Agnew said.
