Camp days are fun and busy.

For ages 4–5, the day starts off with small group activities, followed by worship, and then an interactive teaching session. After the teaching, children participate in activities and crafts that correspond to the lesson. Lunch and quiet time follow, and the day ends with a closing session and worship. Expect your child to return home tired, but excited about all that God is doing.

For ages 6–7, the morning begins with learning how to spend time with God in devotionals, followed by swimming, and then lunch. During the afternoons, there is a breakout teaching and craft time, followed by recreation, and then dinner. The evening sessions are a time of corporate worship, announcements, teaching and preaching, and ministry time. Expect your child to return home tired, but excited about all that God is doing.

For ages 8–12, devotions, morning recreation, lunch, afternoon activities, class, small groups, and dinner. The evening sessions are a time of corporate worship, announcements, teaching and preaching, and ministry time. Expect your child to return home tired, but excited about all that God is doing.

The camps have similar content and teaching topics, sometimes some of the evening sessions will have different speakers depending on the summer.

Yes, children may attend more than one camp, choose to attend any combination of camps, or just one. A child does not need to attend the first camp in order to attend the others.

Children do not need to have medical insurance to attend the camps. However, please note that insurance is not included in the camp fees.

All group leaders go through an application process, which includes providing references (who we contact), an interview, and a background check. Most of the counselors are students at the International House of Prayer University or staff at the International House of Prayer of Kansas City.

While there are no required expenses during camp, children ages 8–12 will have opportunities to visit the Forerunner Bookstore, Higher Grounds Cafe, and a daily snack canteen during afternoon activities.

The director reserves the right to dismiss any camper whose influence or actions may be detrimental to the best interests of the other camp members. These actions include, but are not limited to, disrespect of authority, dyeing or cutting hair (their own or another person’s), possession or use of drugs and/or weapons, theft, self-abuse, and inappropriate physical contact.

Homesickness is common among children during summer camp. It can be hard to make adjustments to a new environment with new people; however, it is a great opportunity for growth. We want to encourage children to embrace the adventure God has in store for them, but we know it isn’t always easy. Understand that the camp schedule is busy, and homesickness hits most often during a quieter moment when the camper has time to imagine what they might be missing at home. We do not encourage campers to call home on the first night of camp. Should you receive a call from your homesick camper, let our staff know if you have concerns. We are also happy to put you in touch with your camper’s group leader if the need arises.
