Kids Adventure Camp
Each child is made in the image of God. It is our mission to value your child as a precious gift from God, teach them about this truth and to let them in on what God is doing through other children and adults around the world–and, ultimately, to share how God desires to live in and through them, too.
KIDS’ CLUB (0-4)
These ages are amazing. Your child is learning, learning they have value. Learning to talk, walk and explore. Therefore, we will provide a safe, loving environment for your child to explore through play, stories, music and crafts. Loving them in your absence. Our hope is that you can relax and take the time to enjoy the weekend knowing that we deeply value your child and plan to care for them as one loved by God.
KIDS’ SQUAD (GRADES K-5)
This age group plays and learns simultaneously. So, we plan to play hard, and all the while teach them that they are precious children of God and that God has a wonderful adventure in store for them. Our high energy leaders will create an atmosphere of learning and having fun at the same time.
Bring your child in comfortable clothing so they can best enjoy their time. The Squad will have dinner together in our camp meeting room, enjoying kid-friendly fare. The Squad will be open 15 minutes before the adult session begins and 15 minutes afterwards. Our hope is that you can relax knowing that your child is loving Adventure Camp.
Teen Summit
(GRADES 6-12)
Bring your teenager! Teen Summit is a conference within a conference. Middle and high school students are loved by God, have an incredible future and with God living in and through them, can influence their peers for the Kingdom. They are a force of nature that God can use right now, wherever they are in their spiritual journey.
Coordinated by the staff of Cru’s Middle School and High School Ministry, the weekend is filled with fun, fellowship, and of course, Gospel-centered teaching. This weekend is a time of concentrated discipleship to learn how to share the Gospel, study the Bible (not just read it), and gain vision of what Biblical stewardship looks like as a teenager. Our hope is that you can confidently know your teen is being given a chance to step closer to the heart of God and leave with deeper ways of relating to Him.
