Camp JAM!

June 15–19, 2026

for rising first–sixth graders

Camp JAM (Jesus, Arts, & More) is focused on helping children
develop their God-given talents and abilities in a way that
empowers them to be bright lights for Christ in their thoughts, actions, work, and play.

Our Theme Verse:
And [Jesus] said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.”
(Mark 16:15, ESV)

Registration for rising 1st–6th graders opens on Tuesday, March 24. Registration will close on Tuesday, April 21.

Camp JAM will take place Monday-Friday, June 15-19, from 9:00 a.m. to 12 p.m. on the church campus. A T-shirt and snack are included! Children may be dropped off as early as 8:45 a.m. and must be picked up no later than 12:15 p.m. ALSO, plan to join us on Friday at 12 p.m. for our Showcase!

CLASSES
Rising 1st & 2nd graders are grouped together in color groups, each of which have their own classes, including Bible. These campers do not choose their own classes.

Rising 3rd-6th Graders take a Bible class and 3 additional classes of their choosing.

When registering, please be prepared to indicate (in order of preference) your camper’s top seven (7) preferred classes. (In case a camper’s most-preferred option is not available, we will place them in their second most-preferred option, etc.) Class placement will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, and will be determined by class schedules, class-size limitations, and teacher availability.

Requests to be placed with friends must 1) be submitted at the time of registration and 2) both campers must choose the same class(es) and 3) list their preference to be placed together. Though every effort will be made to place children as requested, exact placement cannot be guaranteed.
