This year, the kids’ program is built around the theme:
A hero isn’t the biggest or strongest. A hero is someone who trusts God and chooses to do what’s right. We’ll help kids discover what it means to be brave through God’s power, to grow strong in spirit, and to stand boldly for their faith—because Jesus is the greatest hero of all and He invites us to follow Him.
Your child will need clothing and all the usual things for their time away, below are just a few specific items they will need for their time in the program. Please label clothing & items.
