You can also make withdrawals to donate to the offering project.
    • Parents/Guardians – To help the bank withdrawal process go quickly, please send small bills – preferably as $1, $5 or $10 bills. Please note: any money left in the Camp Bank following check-out will be added to the offering.

        • Personal junk food stash:  This includes all candy, pop & energy drinks.  Pop will be available during lunch and at the afternoon snack bar along with Gatorade, candy, chips, cookies, etc.  Anything not purchased at the snack bar may be confiscated by the counselors and will not be returned.  Parents/Guardians, please help us by not sending food or drink with your camper.

        • Valuables: Please leave any valuable jewelry or other expensive personal items at home, as we cannot be responsible for lost or stolen items.

     

Kid’s Camp is a high energy, high impact week of summer camp for 3rd, 4th and 5th graders. The energy, the fun, and the Biblical, Jesus centered teachings are at the heart of what makes Kid’s Camp great! Check out the video below for just a glimpse at what Kid’s Camp is! As campers arrive at camp, they get to move into their college dorm room where they will be welcomed by their counselors and meet the other campers in their mod (that’s what we call their housing group within the dorm). Let the fun begin!

Campers are able to choose 3 of their favorite activities from a variety of options to participate in at camp. See below for these options. In addition, every evening, the entire camp gathers for All Camp Activities. These can be exciting challenges that incorporate social, physical and mental games that everyone can enjoy and participate in together.

Mod unity is another way campers will experience the fun, encouragement and belonging of community. One day, a mod may all wear their hair the same or wear the same color of shirt. Another day they might all be wearing cardboard mustaches or walk backwards every time they enter a room. Campers don’t need to worry about bringing anything or preparing for mod unity–counselors will provide what they need or come up with ideas that they can all participate in.

Each morning and evening, everyone will gather in the Tabor Chapel for the camp Chapel sessions. Worship through music will be led by the Kid’s Camp Worship Band. The camp speaker will lead the students to engage with God through the study of the Bible.

Campers will choose 3 activities when filling out the on-line registration. These will be the activities they participate in each of the full days of camp. Example options are listed below. Campers choose one activity per session time and should not choose the same activity more than once. (For example, they should not choose swimming for both activity 2 & 3.) Activity sign up and availability is on a first come, first serve basis by fully submitted registrations. Activities are subject to change. If there is an activity listed here that does not show up when you are registering, that means it may have filled up or activities have changed, and you need to choose something else. If you do not fully complete and submit the registration, the spots will not be saved for you. Be sure to “submit” the registration and not simply “save” it.
