I’m glad you asked! CBC Kids Camp is unique in many ways, but my favorite is that it’s all planned, led and executed by staff and volunteers of Central Bible Church. You aren’t sending your kids to a programmed camp led by someone you’re not familiar with. You can trust that what is taught at Kids Camp is in line with CBC’s core values and beliefs.

We’ll transport them on charter busses, which are always an adventure for our elementary kids!

Great question! A full day of camp is like 7 dog years. We will have 3 square meals, as well as large group time, with engaging worship, hilarious skits and solid Biblical teaching. Kids will have dedicated small group time with their leader to process what they are doing and learning. Throughout the day kids will enjoy all Carolina Creek offers including zip line, ropes activity, power pole and a pool to name a few things. We promise to bring them home filled up, exhausted and ready to glorify God!

Our first love is the cool and refreshing pool. Can we stay there all day? Kids will get a chance to throw tomahawks, shoot BB Guns, climb the power pole and rock wall, head out on the boat, and just generally run around and play outside like kids should. It’s going to be a blast!

This happens and we promise to help in every way we can. Leaders stay in touch with parents and allow kids opportunities to text, call or facetime parents as it seems appropriate. We encourage parents to stay positive when dealing with homesickness as well as in the “camp mail” they send that will be delivered during Kids Camp.

We’ll have a smorgasbord of yummy food that all kids will love. Carolina Creek will do their best to accommodate needs if your child has a food allergy or is on a special diet.

Kids will sleep in cabins or lodges with their small group and sponsors.

All Kids Camp sponsors are parents and volunteers from CBC that are deeply invested in teaching your kids spiritual truth in a fun and dynamic way. They are familiar with our Core Values and Beliefs and love the Lord. All volunteers are hand-picked by our leadership team and vetted and screened by our security and logistics manager. You can be confident your kids are safe with us!

Each year we focus on a book of the bible or theme. This year, Manny Fernandez will dig deep into the Old Testament and help us learn how to make hard choices from Queen Esther. We hope our kids will come home encouraged and empowered to live life according to God’s Word.

Yes, there are a limited number of scholarships available. Please register your child for camp to hold their spot for only $50. Next, email kids@wearecentral.org for the scholarship application. We encourage all our friends that have received a scholarship in the past two years to allow others to take advantage of this financial blessing. Because we believe Camp is life-changing and worth investing in, we encourage you to involve your children and community in bake sales, garage sales or simple lemonade stands to help offset the cost of Camp.

You can register your child and hold their spot for only $50 (non-refundable). You’ll have until June 2 to pay the balance. We will periodically email you reminders and the link to make payments, but there is not an automatic withdrawal program.

We are unbelievably blessed to have two registered nurses volunteer at Kids Camp every year. They will safely guard your child’s medicine and administer it appropriately. Basic first aid medicines such as Advil, Tylenol or Benadryl will be on hand and administered with authorization (see medical form).
