Our three-day conference centers around Jeremiah 29:11 which says, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” AND 1 Corinthians 13:13 which says, " “And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” This year our kids are going to learn where their hope is found, where their faith is built and where their life is saved, which is in Jesus!

2025 Theme

Camp Wanna-Be-A-Leada

This year's theme is "Camp Wanna-Be-A-Leada," focusing on what it means to be a true leader. This year’s theme highlights that real leadership is not about power but about following Jesus’ example. Over three days, kids will learn that Leaders Make a Difference, Leaders Put Others First, and that Jesus Is the Ultimate Leader, showing that the best way to lead is by following His example.

    Please note that for our closing session from 11:30 am – 12:00 pm we do not allow check-in or check-out of children. Please plan to arrive before 11:30 am if you would like to watch the closing session in the auditorium or if you will need to pick up early.
