Event Information

Here’s a preview from the Kids Camp Directors:

Welcome to Kids Camp 2025! We are looking forward to spending this short week with your 3rd-6th graders! Come and join us for a jam packed 3 days of becoming “More Like Jesus” - our camp theme - with your directors, Bella Ward and Katie Bernard! During this camp, we will be playing tons of group games, messy games, water games, and making tie dye creations and everlasting friendships!

During this event, we will be hosting a day for your even younger children to experience a taste of camp, with our Kids Camp Day Camp! This will be an exciting day as the younger kids get a glimpse of what Suncrest Camp is all about. Parents are welcome to stay with their child throughout the day or have the option to drop off in the morning, and pick up after dinner.

More exciting events will take place but we don’t want to spoil all of the surprises! So, sign up today, and we’ll see you there!

If you’ve never sent a child to Kids Camp at Suncrest, here’s what you can expect:
This is our annual camp for young children, running from Wednesday evening - Saturday afternoon. This will be an amazing four days of camp, where kids will have tons of fun. From things like field games to cabin skits, everyday looks a little different. One way, however, that each day is the same is our overall focus; learning about the God who created them, loves them, and sent His son Jesus for them.

Your child will hear about the good news of Jesus, and how to live a life with Him. We have tons of fun, make lifelong friends and memories, all the while focusing on Jesus! We just can’t wait for Kids Camp 2025!

Campers will be placed in a cabin with kids close to their age, where they will be supervised by counselors with required volunteer clearances.

Wednesday, June 18th - Saturday, June 21st
Wednesday Registration/Drop-Off is from 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM.
Saturday concludes with a 3:00 PM Worship Service, where we invite parents to join us.
Camp will end at 4:15 PM, directly following our final service.

Both drop-off/pick-up are in The Tab, the big gray building you’ll see when you pull into camp.
For children going into Grades 3rd - 6th in Fall 2026
Cost: $100

Get the kids camp Shirt!

Register before Tuesday, June 3rd to guarantee your Kids Camp 2025 Shirt. After that date, shirt size/availability is not guaranteed.

*Shirt is only for four-day Kids Camp, not for Day Camp attendees.


mini-camp @ Kids Camp

Back again for the second year, is the opportunity to bring your younger kids out to experience Suncrest!

What’s mini-camp?

A partial day at Suncrest set up for even younger children to enjoy!

Throughout their entire time at camp, “mini-campers” will have volunteers assigned to just their group. So, even as they will be with the bigger Kids Camp group at times, they will have the attention they need. Parents are also more than welcome to stay and accompany their child for the entire event. If you are planning to do, please let us know when you register!

    • During check-in, parents have the option to buy a “cash card” for the week (only offered at Kids Camp). It’s a prepaid paper card we keep in the Snack Shack. That way, your child doesn’t have to keep any money on them. We’ll keep track of everything and let them know how much money they have remaining. At pickup on Saturday, please let us know and we can refund you any unused funds.

    • We recommend $15 per camper for cash cards. Please let us know at check-in if you have any questions about cash cards.

    • For safety reasons, campers are not allowed to keep medication on them/in their belongings. However, counselors can access medications at any time of day.

  • Reusable Water Bottle

    • If possible, please put camper’s name on the water bottle.

  • Umbrella/Rain boots

    • While not a necessity, these can be nice to have.

  • Note about Weather Conditions:

    • Please be aware that Suncrest does not have cooling/heating. This has not been a problem for us, but please be prepared. Please pack extra socks, sweatpants, hoodie, shoes - just in case anything gets wet.
