WHY KIDS CAMP?
KIDS CAMP 2025: Adventure Trek!
Search – Explore – Discover
Proverbs 3:5 & 6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.
It’s the BEST week of a kids’ summer! Why? Because kids experience God together in life-changing ways at camp. It’s where we EXPECT God to move right in the middle of us. It’s where we lean into God’s voice. It’s where we worship and love Jesus with all we’ve got. It’s where we experience healing and power that comes straight from God who loves us so much.
Plus, the fun-level is super-sized! Join the Adventure Trek of
a lifetime as we SEARCH – EXPLORE – DISCOVER just how good God really is!
