How Much Involvement Will Our Kids Have With Kids From Other Churches?
Even if they are on different rotations, there are times through the day that they will be together with a variety of Kids from other churches and their own. This is a great opportunity to meet new friends and develop those relationships.
District Camps are quality camps that bring in some of the best speakers in the nation and offer wonderful facilities for our kids. They also allow our kids to interact with other kids from other churches, other sections, and even other states, giving them the chance to meet new friends and experience God in a new fresh way.
Can a 6 or 7 year old go as a camper? Yes. If you feel they could do alright away from home for 4 nights then okay. You make the call. Usually a 6 year old will need a parent to be approved to be their counselor, therefore being of the same sex is necessary and for proper approval in advance.
Can a 13 year old go as a camper? Yes. Since our staff is for 15 years and up this will keep them out of kids camp for a couple years. To make up one year they can come as a camper the other can be attended as a staffer if a parent or grandparent comes and works also.
