Make it the Best Summer Ever!

About Middle School Camp

Our goal with middle school campers is to engage with their interests, questions, and abilities! We understand how this is a stage of life where kids are trying to figure out who they are and where they belong. During the week, campers will also be encouraged to build friendships, learn teamwork, and establish good sportsmanship through a variety of games, competitions, and activities they will partake in. And most importantly, we aim to demonstrate and instill in each camper God’s love for them.
