  • On Friday, we’ll have our very own Organized Mass Chaos (OMC) for all kids entering 3rd-6th grades. During this event, kids will have a blast, get wet, and most likely be covered in shaving cream. It's essential for each child to bring a change of clothes and a towel afterward. Goggles will be provided for every child.

  • Last year, we invited all campers to a full day of events, but we quickly realized that it was too much for our youngest campers. They became hot, exhausted, and grumpy. While we understand this might be inconvenient, we believe it's best for both our campers and leaders to limit this group to a shorter day.

  • We’re excited to welcome back Sports Crusaders this year! This Missouri-based group of college students is trained to not only have fun with the campers, but also to share scripture with them. The theme this year is The Fruit of the Spirit from Galatians 5:22-23. Learn more about Sports Crusaders by clicking the link here.
