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.
