Day Camps
It’s camp that comes to you! Each summer we partner with local churches across the country to bring camp to their communities.
MISSION OF DAY CAMP
"...to glorify the name of Jesus Christ by providing churches with the critical elements (trained staff, appropriate curriculum, music, recreation, and a closing event) necessary for an excellent, camp-like experience at the host church for 1st through 6th graders."
DAY CAMP REFLECTION
I was impressed by the obvious training and preparation and prayer that went into the program carried out by the counselors. I was amazed at their ability to capture and hold the attention of 35+ very energetic kids. Even small gaps in the day were filled with fun and creative ways of helping kids to stay tuned in whether through a song, story, game, or action.
Not only were kids impacted. Some families were "scoping us out" for future church connections. Several parents commented to me about the high-quality of our program and said their children had had a fabulous week. Other families are looking seriously at attending various camps or retreats at Inspiration Point this fall and/or next summer. They have definitely caught the fever. Camp will be seeing more of us.
