Theme Weeks for 2025

Pack your suitcase and grab your passport–it’s time to explore the world! Campers will visit a different country each day and get a glimpse of the country’s culture–all without the hassle of lost luggage, security checks and jet lag!  Travelers will learn new languages, taste new foods, play unique games and create beautiful art that represents the places they visit. As campers circle the globe, they will learn about missionaries serving around the world and what it means to tell others about Jesus whether it’s down the street or in different lands. ¡Vámonos! Let’s go!

Grab your hard hat and hammer!  We need your help to BUILD, DESTORY and CONSTRUCT! Will you use Legos? Bricks? Toothpicks? Or maybe even…marshmallows!? As campers explore a world of concrete and cranes, rivets and rebar, bulldozers and backhoes, they will learn to build their faith on Jesus as they uncover the truth that He who began a good work will be faithful to carry it on to completion. We’re all a work in progress, but just wait ‘til you see what God will do!

Bring on the beach balls, flower leis and Luau music. Are you ready for summer? WE ARE!

It’s dry, it’s hot, it’s AWESOME! Our campers will learn about desert survival as they trek through the Alexandria desert. We will spot scorpions, taste cactus and learn how to navigate with a compass. Wait until you see our beautiful sunset mural, slithery snakes and the prickly cactus that we create. Don’t worry… We will stay cool by finding an oasis or two and even sip on some desert juice. Campers will really feel the heat as we learn how God protected the Israelites in the desert and how He does the same for us today.

Taste, Touch, Smell, Sight, Hear…WOW! God has blessed us with all of these senses to enjoy, discover and understand His world. Each day we will use our senses to play, discover and be amazed by God’s handiwork. We will learn how animals use their senses, too! Would you like to taste like a bear and feel like a fly? Did you know some people listen with their eyes and read with their fingers? We will explore all the OTHER ways to use our senses. Can you draw with your eyes closed? Will you win the Guess that Sound game? Just wait for the Smell-a-thon, Taste-o-Rama and the Lollipop Lab!

Animals here, animals there, animals everywhere! Campers will discover amazing things about animals, their habitats and behaviors. We will paint animal patterns, make masks, look for animal footprints and mold our favorite animal sculptures. Campers will learn all about how God created animals to serve Him! Did you know that some can hide in plain sight and some pretend to be other animals? We will try our “paws” at using “claws” to eat and then create our own unique animals. Don’t forget to bring your favorite stuffed animal for the Animal Show!

We will honor our military, pray for our country and celebrate the good ole’ U.S of A! Let’s hit the road, campers!
Campers will become Secret Spies as they try to solve several mysteries throughout the week. We’ll use the Bible to help us crack the code of how to share our faith with others. Camper swill use magnifying glasses to solve the secrets that lurk around every corner. The clues may even be edible, alive or slimy! We will learn about real spies and even practice spy skills. Together with counselors, campers will use clues each day to solve the big mystery by Friday…or else!

Calling all construction workers! We need your help to BUILD, DESTROY and CONSTRUCT with all types of materials. Will you use marshmallows? Legos? Bricks? Toothpicks? Each day, campers will build awesome structures from bridges to skyscrapers to monuments. By the end of the week, we will create an entire city…and maybe something yummy! God’s Word shows us the building blocks needed to construct a godly life, so let’s get building. Grab your hard hat and watch out for safety cones! Remember, safety first!

Grab your megaphones, lace up your cleats, and stretch those muscles! It’s Game Time! Our athletes will play games inside, outside and even upside down. Be ready for some old favorites and some brand new games, too. We will learn how to be a TEAM and how to PLAY hard, WIN like a champ and LOSE with humility. Each athlete will realize God has given them His ultimate playbook…the BIBLE! He wants them to join His team, train hard, celebrate salvation, and encourage one another. Get in the spirit, Get in the game!
Let’s have a soaking good time getting wet, wet and even wetter! We will wade into God’s Word and learn what to do when we feel overwhelmed by the waters of life.
