A day in the life of a Soul Kids Camper
Check-in for camp opens at 8:45am each morning, with our team ready to welcome each camper and get them excited about the adventures they’ll share that day. They will receive a name tag and their Adult will receive a secure pick up tag that matches the unique security code on their name tag. Campers will find a labelled basket to place their personal items in, before heading upstairs to meet their crew leader!
Campers will be placed in a small crew for the week. They will participate in large and small group activities with their crew all week. Although some activities will vary daily, each day of camp will be filled with music, games, science fun, bible stories, and much more. Together we will be exploring how Jesus brought hope, love, forgiveness and joy to the world and how kids can do the same with his power!
Kids will be excited to come back each day for more!
