About This Camp

Junior Camp is where the full camp adventure begins. Kids completing 3rd through 5th grade spend an entire week exploring, creating, and growing — channeling all that energy and curiosity into a week of friendship, faith, and nonstop fun just two blocks from the ocean.

What to Expect

Action-Packed Days

Arts & crafts, messy games, swimming at the beach, sand volleyball, basketball, nature scavenger hunts, and silly theme parties. Every day offers new adventures to keep active kids engaged.

Friends & Mentors

Campers are placed in small groups with kids their age, led by caring counselors. Even first-time campers quickly make friends and feel at home with the buddy system and constant support.

Growing in Faith

Interactive stories, skits, and songs introduce biblical lessons about kindness, honesty, and helping others. Questions and curiosity are encouraged — we love hearing what's on their minds about God and life!

Confidence & Character

For many, this week is a big step toward independence. Our staff help children overcome homesickness, try new things, and discover strengths in themselves — whether it's a ropes challenge or leading a prayer for the first time.

By week's end, Junior Campers are often begging to stay longer. They'll come home with amazing stories about the friends they made, the funny skit their cabin performed, and the moment they felt God's love around a campfire.
