Elementary Camps
Overnight Camps for 2nd-5th Grade
Personal Development
Learn new skills, be challenged, and encourage others.
Relational Development
Learn how to be a friend, to communicate needs, and that everyone has their own story.
Spiritual Development
Know God’s story and how they fit in it: Who is God, why did he create us, and what is the bible (why is it true, how do you use it?).
Elementary Camp Details
Your child will fly, aim, swim, and play as they learn new skills and encourage new friends. Chapel skits and songs, crazy group activities, and cabin Bible studies are all part of the fun! Your camper will leave having their questions answered, new friends, and a better understanding of who God created them to be.

Each day campers will be led in a cabin bible study by their cabin leader. The small group environment allows for students to ask questions and go deeper into lesson they began in their daily TAWG.
