A Week-Long Day Camp Experience Rooted in Faith and Fun

Village Kids is a day camp program designed especially for young campers who have completed grades K–4. This week-long experience runs daily (no overnights) and introduces children to the joy of summer camp in a safe, welcoming, Christ-centered environment.

Whether it’s their first time at camp or they’re returning for more, Village Kids provides an ideal balance of age-appropriate adventure, spiritual growth, and outdoor fun.

Daily Adventures & Activities

Each day at Village Kids is filled with hands-on experiences and meaningful moments. Campers rotate through a variety of activities in both small-group and full-group settings, ensuring they connect with others while staying engaged in fun and interactive programming.

Activities Include:

  • Morning and afternoon worship experiences
  • Bible study in age-based small groups
  • Water games and pool fun
  • Guided hikes and nature exploration
  • Cookout lunch over a campfire
  • Music, crafts, and creative storytelling
  • Fun-filled group games and skits

Faith Formation & Friendship

Village Kids emphasizes community and spiritual growth. Our caring summer staff lead by example, modeling Christ-like love while encouraging campers to explore their faith and ask questions in a supportive environment.

Each camper is celebrated for who they are. Through songs, prayers, and shared experiences, children learn they are loved by God and surrounded by a community that values them.

Program Goals

  • Build Resilience and Grit - Campers gain confidence and perseverance, key traits for lifelong success, through hands-on learning and outdoor exploration.

  • Discover Identity and Faith - Campers explore who they are and who they are becoming, in a setting that nurtures both personal and spiritual growth.

  • Prepare for Real Life - Time in nature, away from screens, supports brain development, emotional health, and soul-deep renewal.
