NOTE: This camp is full. Please contact the camp directly to be placed on a waitlist or to attend a different week.
Effective Summer 2017, this camp will be by invitation only to those students who are actively involved in worship and seek to grow in love and discipleship with God.

MADD Camp (Music, Art, Dance, Drama)
August 7-10 (Monday-Thursday), 9am-12noon
Lunch: 12-12:30pm
Come show off your talents, and learn some new ones!
Sports/Cheerleading Camp
August 14-17 (Monday-Thursday), 9am-12noon**
Lunch: 12-12:30pm
Get ready for some friendly competition as you sharpen your skills and maybe try a new sport! Whether you prefer football, baseball, basketball, field games, or just hanging out with friends, you'll find something here for you! All skill levels welcome. Meanwhile, if being on the field isn't your thing, come learn some new cheers, and be prepared to cheer a team onto victory in a scrimmage!
**On Friday evening, August 18, you are invited to join the group to see the Baltimore Orioles take on the Los Angeles Angels with post-game fireworks (7:05 game). Families are responsible for providing their own transportation. We will purchase a block of tickets that will be available on a first-come basis. A responsible adult must accompany each camper, and our tickets prices are dependent on how many people go for the group rate. However, they should not exceed $15 each (so minimum cost per family should not exceed $30). If you have a financial hardship, please contact Pastor Randy or Pastor Bonnie so that we can find a way for you to attend.
Science & Ecology Camp
August 21-24 (Monday-Thursday), 9am-12noon
Lunch: 12-12:30pm
Join us for wacky science experiments, hands-on activities, and some nature thrown in for good measure! Maybe we'll learn about crime scene investigation, protect our waterways, explore sound...there are limitless possibilities!
