At Stepping Stones Summer Camp, kids will have fun, connect with nature, and make friends while exploring our theme – “All God’s Critters.”
We will learn what living things need to live – shelter, food, water, air, and community – and discover how God provides for all critters including us. Kids will enjoy Bible stories, art, games, STEM explorations and hands-on service projects. We’ll end the week with special guests from Curious Creatures!
Spots are limited so sign up today.
We are thrilled to offer camp as a free activity to families but please consider making a one-time donation that fits your budget to offset the cost of materials and activities. Give to Camp
