Kids Camp 2024

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.
