Children - Teens Program
Our children's program welcomes children from 0-entering 12th grade and will have different activities geared toward different age groups. The structure will be like a day camp setting: counselors will lead small groups through stations like arts and crafts, music, worship, games, and indoor/outdoor play time.
The children's program runs simultaneously to the adult program from 8:30am-3:30pm HOWEVER the adult program runs until 5pm so one adult will be responsible for picking up at 3:30pm. Families will reunite for lunch during the day. The entire event runs Thursday-Sunday; however the supervised drop-off kids' program is only on Friday and Saturday from 8:30-3:30pm.
Here's a snapshot of what the program looks like from a parent’s perspective.
