Camp Whitefield – Adrienne Miller, Angie Boone
Camp Whitefield is a Christ-centered day camp for young children. Each creative theme for the summer is paired with a character trait of God that we will explore throughout the week. In the morning, campers will spend time in praise and worship as a group where they will learn the scriptural focus for the day. During the day, campers will rotate through four learning stations where they will play games, make arts and crafts, compete in age-appropriate physically challenging events, advance educational knowledge, form new friendships, and explore God’s creation in a fun, loving, and caring environment. Every Thursday is field trip day, where we take the kids off campus to an adventurous place that corresponds with our theme for the week. Sign up for as many weeks as you want. Don’t miss out on this summer fun! See below for highlights of each week.
