The 2 Camps
CEF offers two great Day Camps every summer: Camp Good News for those who have finished grades 2-6, and Kiddie Camp, geared to age 4, kindergarten, and first grade. All camps are staffed by volunteers, summer interns, and full-time staff. All staff comply with CEF's “Our Beliefs” and Child Abuse Policies, as well as PA State requirements.
The purpose of our day camps matches that of the ministry as a whole - to reach boys and girls for Jesus and help them grow in their faith. Day camp is an exceptional place for this to happen, with excitement, fun, high energy, team spirit, and sincere, caring leaders and teachers.
At camp your child will experience:
-
Games and sports, like Gaga Ball, Archery, and Slingshot ranges
-
Contests
-
Interactive stories from the Bible
-
An exciting missionary story
-
Surprise Time
-
Quiz Down
-
Skits
-
Bible Memory, and more!
(Note: not all activities available at every camp.)
