Kids Day Camp 2025
Join us this summer, July 7-10, 2025, for another amazing week of Kids Day Camp!
This camp is FREE and open to all kids grades K-5.
Details and registration open in April.
Camp Dates - Monday, July 7 - Thursday, July 10, 9:00am-12:00pm
Slideshow & Closing Worship - Thursday, July 10, 11:30am-12:30pm (Parents, friends, grandparents welcome)
THEME: LIVE IT OUT!
Campers will learn to love and live like Jesus, hearing four powerful stories of Jesus’ love from the New Testament. This is a theme that empowers kids to take action and live their faith out.
CLASSES:
Day Camp offers a selection of skill and interest-based classes for kids to pick from. Students will participate in two classes they select all week—building skills, trying out new ones, and generally growing as the creative, imaginative, wonder-filled children God made them to be. It can be hard to choose, but many classes return following years, so come back next year, and you can try out new classes!
Please make sure to honor age and grade limits when picking classes and registering. Some teachers request only certain ages due to the complexity of projects.
