Camp FAQ and INFO

FAQ & INFO FOR OUR 2023 CAMP!

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 (Monday is hockey day, Tuesday is basketball day, etc.). Each day of art & dance camp will focus on a different art medium and dance.

Teaching – Every year’s theme includes a number of ways to reach 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 (did you know that athleticism and sports are actually in the Bible? Did you know that God created us to be artists?) are introduced. These sessions can include instructional stories, fun object lessons, and pointer times that reinforce the themes children are learning!

Check in is at 9 AM sharp and pick up is by 4 PM sharp

FAQ

What will my child be doing all day?

Our Camps will offer a number of different activities appropriate for the varied age groups. Campers will be organized into groups for the week according to age. Many of our activities will happen outdoors, but we also have 3 large well-vented facilities on premises at our disposal.

What should I pack for my child each day?

Your child will need to bring a lunch and two snacks each day. They will need a minimum of ONE water bottle although we highly recommend TWO. Please ensure they have sunscreen already applied before camp each day and an extra bottle with them to reapply after lunch. Please ensure proper footwear is worn each day. A SUN HAT is highly recommended. Once registered and closer to the day (the weekend before camp start), you will receive an email with more detailed instructions of what your camper will need.

You can register online at portchurch.ca and fill out your medical form. The fee per camper is $125.
