Summer Church Camp
It’s All About the Call
It’s time for camp! We invite you and your friends to our annual church camp with art, drama and music. Camp is designed for children 3 years old through 5th grade. The week-long event begins Sunday, July 22 and ends Friday, July 27 with the performance.
Sunday: 5:00 Welcome, Program Overview and Dinner; 5:50-7:40 Program
Monday-Thursday: 5:30 Dinner; 5:50-7:40 Program
Friday: 7:00 Performance followed by Dessert in the Pavilion
There will be something for everybody – story, playtime, drama, art, hands-on activities, woodworking, music and snack time! We need many volunteers to help with the effort: folks for the kitchen, to lead games, to prepare the activities and more! Let us know how you would like to help. We also encourage youth/teens to sign-up and assist. Nikki Dombroski is your Summer Camp contact.
