Babylon: Daniel's Courage in Captivity

Come along on a Holy Land Adventure this summer. At Babylon: Daniel’s Courage in Captivity, children will join Daniel after he was torn from his home and forced into a foreign King’s service. Participants will be immersed in the exotic sights and smells of Daniel’s new Babylonian world. Imagine the pressures of learning a new language and culture...and the shock of discovering your best friends have been tossed into a fiery furnace—just because they follow God. Visits to Daniel and the Babylonian marketplace will be full of surprises.

Summer Fun II -- "Splash Into Reading"
Where in the world will our books take us? Will it be the prehistoric world of dinosaurs, or to Africa where a lonely giraffe really, really wants to dance?

Elementary Music & Arts Camp: E-I-E-I-OOPS!
Don’t miss this year’s trip to the farm! Join us as we meet Farmer MacDonald and the whole barnyard of singing animals! But wait! Something’s wrong with our Cow - she just can’t moo! Your young musician will become part of the barnyard team as they work to solve the puzzling dilemma of Ms. Cow’s silence. This year’s musical is a wonderful example of friendship, self-esteem and confidence. As your child renews their musical friendships with fellow camp alumni, they will meet new friends to add to their musical cast. We promise that your child will learn new and exciting talents and abilities that will last a lifetime!
We offer six classes each day, in several areas of the arts, for both the experienced and beginner. Our goal is to have our campers go home at the end of every day rejoicing in their creativity. Campers attend classes in art, choir, dance, Orff instruments (pitched rhythm instruments), and handbells or chimes. Children completing 4th and 5th grade will also select one master class in which to focus their artistic energies during the week: guitar, drumming, or the art master class.
