Create-A-Camp is a mash up of all things kids love! It is Vacation Bible School, Fine Arts Camp, and Sports Camp all rolled into one. No more running all over town week after week, paying fee after fee to get your kid involved in summer activities. We’re having one awesome week-long camp where your kids will get strong biblical teaching as well as quality instruction in sports and arts.

Opening and closing worship rallies will excite kiddos, and campers will express themselves in a musical performance the whole family will enjoy.
