FAQ & INFO FOR OUR 2024 CAMP!

OUR CAMP IS NOW FULL FOR 2024

Throughout the day, your child will participate in:

Instructional Time – These are times that focus on skill development while having fun. Each day of camp will focus on a different sport.

Teaching – Every year’s camp includes a number of ways to teach and instruct multiple types of learning styles. Each day consists of a Bible story and an object lesson that revolve around a theme for the week.

Fun Time & Games- Each day includes a fun game time that teaches character development and good sportsmanship to participants. This can include a scrimmage, for example, which teaches healthy competition and teambuilding.

Break Out Sessions – These are group times where Biblical truths relevant to the themes are introduced. These sessions can include instructional stories, fun object lessons, and pointer times that reinforce the themes children are learning!
