Day Camp is a ministry that is tailored to your church and community, bringing children, youth, and adults the message of the good news of Jesus Christ! An energetic staff of young adults, trained by Living Water Ministries, delivers a fun, community-centered program focused on sharing God’s love and forgiveness for kids age 5-12. Experience Christian summer camping in the comfort of your own community!
Living Water Ministries will collaborate with your congregation to tailor the experience to your needs. We will provide all programming including Bible study, arts and crafts, recreation, music, worship, and nature activities. We also offer the option of an evening family worship service, and will coordinate with you to provide a safe and healthy environment for everyone. We will also provide reproducible forms, registrations, and clip art.
We ask that your congregation provides responsibility for the health, safety, and liability of everyone involved, a steering committee to work with our staff, a site coordinator present during Day Camp, and volunteers for registration, snacks, meals and emergencies. We also ask that your congregation provides housing for our staff, and provides youth and adult volunteers to meet a 14 camper to 1 adult ratio.
