When is Camp KidJam?
We know that you’ve been monitoring the day-to-day situation with COVID-19, just as we have. One of our summer concerns for KidMin is Camp KidJam. Camp KidJam has been looking out for the safety and well-being of their staff, and our kids and leaders who show up for the best week ever of the summer. In light of that, and the continued health concerns of COVID-19, Camp KidJam have made the decision to cancel ALL of their camps for the summer of 2020.
What is Camp KidJam?
Camp KidJam is a new concept in children’s camp designed not only for rising 3rd – 6th graders, but for their leaders as well. As a component of our Orange strategy, Camp KidJam is designed around the principals of 252 Kids, which teach children to grow in wisdom, faith and friendship. Camp KidJam is designed to provide a fun experience for kids, unique leader training to develop adult leaders and to elevate the significance of Small Groups for children.
Jam Sessions
Jam Sessions are 45-minute camp-wide gatherings that feature
enthusiastic hosts, high-energy worship, compelling storytelling and an awesome drama. Experience crazy team cheers and game competitions, engage in incomparable worship led by some of the nation’s best worship leaders, and enjoy our cliff-hanging, fun dramas that reinforce the camp theme and tie into our Storyteller’s Bible story. These interactive, stellar productions are easily one of the highlights of camp!
Small Groups
Small Groups create space for kids and leaders to grow in relationship and dive into the Bible stories shared in Jam Session. Our leaders are provided with fun activities and discussion questions that help their group conceptualize the message and apply the bottom line to their lives. This impactful tool is a staple of Camp KidJam and is a springboard for campers to create bonds that last long after camp.
Leader Training
Leadership Training is a series of unique workshops for staff and volunteers led by an Orange expert. While the children attend tracks, leaders will enjoy this chance to recharge and be reminded of their influence, while engaging in discussion and having their toughest ministry questions answered. This experience is what makes Camp KidJam different – because we design camp for you as much as we design it for kids.
Tracks
Tracks are fun filled points of interest activities that kids sign up for at Camp KidJam. Some of the amazing activities that they can participate in are dance, drama, sports and arts-n-crafts. Kids get to participate in one track each camp.
After much prayer and evaluation, we made this important decision: VBS has been rescheduled to June 7-11, 2021.
