What is Summer Day Camp?
Summer Day Camp is a fun-filled camp for children who are entering K5 – 6th grade. Children can pick their camp (when you register online) from the following options: Painting, Soccer, Art Journaling, Basic Horsemanship, and LEGO Camp (all children entering Kindergarten will only be eligible for our brand new Kinder-camp). Summer Day Camp is designed for kids to engage in a specific activity that they enjoy and grow in their understanding and skill in it. The emphasis of Summer Day Camp is for kids to LOVE the activity they choose. In the afternoon, children will engage in more general camp activities, like crafts, games, music, and a Bible lesson.
