Great question! Kids ages 8-12 who work well in a group setting and are able to follow directions will thrive at camp! Kids in need of regular redirection or more 1:1 attention should wait until they are a bit older. See the video above for more information.

Kids are placed on teams of approximately 8-12 kids with 1 leader.

Every camp leader with Realife Kids is a volunteer from our church who has completed a comprehensive process that includes:

• Completed and approved volunteer application
• Criminal background check
• Mandatory Kids Camp orientation

A professional food team prepares three meals every day. For children with food sensitivities, simple buffet alternatives are always available.

We have a large lake with tons of fun water inflatables and activities! Every child and leader is required to wear a life jacket at all times if they are in the water, regardless of depth. We have staff and lifeguards posted at all swimming activities.

• Check-In will be at Realife Church on Sunday, July 7th at 2 pm –
• Campers will return to Realife Church at approximately 2 pm on Wednesday, July 10.

• All prescription medications (prescription and/or over-the-counter) MUST have a doctor’s order and be brought in the original pharmacy labeled container or the original manufacturer’s container to the first aid station at check-in.
• Prescription medications MUST have the camper’s name on the bottle.
• Please limit the amount of medication to only what is required for the camper’s term. Please consider foregoing the 3 days of vitamins or over the counter medications if possible – this is very helpful to our nurse!
