Family Summer Camps

All Day Event

Camp Omega is still here for you! Your children can still experience the excitement and fun of summer camp and you as the parent get to come along. In place of the normally offered youth and children’s camps, families are invited to reserve a cabin, outpost area, or bring a self-contained RV and experience Camp Omega as a family between June 7 and July 10. Families can make reservations at their convenience as it fits their schedules. Reserve it for as little as one night or as long as desired. Meals will be provided by Camp Omega in a “take out” fashion, but you may also bring an outdoor grill and prepare them yourself or cook meals over a fire at one of the camp’s many fire pits. Various programs and activities will be offered throughout the day in a manner compliant with all CDC, local health officials, and ACA recommendations. Games, crafts, archery, canoeing, Bible studies, and many other camp activities will be available for people of all ages.

Backyard Bible Clubs Week 1 (CEF)

All Day Event

As our communities begin to open back up, we are going to have an opportunity like never before to reach the kids in our community with the Gospel. We are now hearing of more and more churches having to cancel their VBS program for the summer, but I know many are still wanting to reach these kids. Our ministry can partner with Christians to have an opportunity to run a small, socially distanced, backyard Bible club, called a 5-Day Club. A 5-Day Club is an exciting, fun-filled 90 minute event held each day for five consecutive days. The clubs include dynamic Bible lessons, creative learning activities, inspiring missionary story, meaningful songs, and life-changing Scripture memorization. 5-Day Clubs are open to all boys and girls between the ages of five and twelve, regardless of religious background. These clubs are run by Christians who are passionate to bring the Gospel to young children. We would like to invite you to either attend or host one of these exciting clubs.
