what your kids will experience & learn

A child’s spiritual life can be greatly impacted by their home environment, church involvement, and unique experiences like camp. CentriKid is committed to providing a place for kids to get away—even for a little while—to hear loud and clear that God loves them and has a plan for their lives. Safety in our programming, within relationships, and on campus are top priorities. We believe powerful things can happen when kids feel safe to be a kid!

From Morning Worship to Bible Study, Recreation to Track Times, everything at CentriKid is designed with the heart of a child in mind. Our staff members are carefully chosen for their energy level, love of fun, and ability to connect with kids, and every week culminates with the whole camp playing the most fun game ever: OMC, which stands for Organized Mass Chaos!

Each group at camp is led by an awesome group leader from individual churches. If you have specific questions about camp for your child, contact your church group leader.

FAQS

What will camp be like for my child?

I have chaperoned CentriKid with my daughter for the last three years and seeing her gain independence and develop into a young lady has been incredible. Seeing her grow in her walk with Christ has been even more amazing. She looks forward to camp for months leading up to it and encourages all of her friends to attend! CentriKid has helped transform my daughter from a shy little girl to a bold and outgoing follower of Christ who is eager to share her story if how he saved her! We LOVE CentriKid!

Melissa F Parent

I was encouraged to witness the tag-team efforts of college-aged CentriKid staffers and 30- and 40-something-year-old parents and chaperones leading children in spiritual conversations. From elementary-aged children to senior citizens, CentriKid’s camp ministry fueled the bonds of at least four generations in the church last week.

Aaron WParent

I have attended CentriKid for 14 years, because I trust that everything our children experience at camp will be Christ-focused, age-appropriate, safe, and fun! It is, by far, my favorite week of the summer! As a camp parent , you can exhale, knowing that your child is in a safe environment, surrounded by Christian men and women that will invest in their spiritual journey through Bible study, recreation, worship, and tracks. Your child will have a Christ-focused, safe, and fun week at CentriKid!

Jennifer JParent

As a parent, I can’t recommend CentriKid camps enough! My daughter attended camp for 4 years and wants to be a staffer one day! My son just finished his final year of camp and we’re sad to see this experience coming to an end. It is an amazing, transformational week. From Bible study, Rec, Tracks, and even OMC, it all points back to the Gospel. We are so grateful for our years attending CentriKid!
5/5 stars from this mom & veteran chaperone!

Allison HParent

CentriKid is amazing! I look forward this week more than I do my birthday! From the minute you wake till you lay your head down at the end of the day, Jesus is all around! Everything CentriKid does is on the foundation of Christ. He’s found in every game played, every track time, every small group. The staffers are so invested in your children and their relationship with Christ. My most favorite part of the whole week is watching relationships form. We take so many kids that I never would’ve thought would connect that end up best friends by the end of the week & return to church wanting to continue to grow their relationship. That’s what the week’s about for me. Community in Jesus.

Hannah BParent

2023 was our first year to attend a CentriKid and I am confident we will never go anywhere else again! This was hands down the best camp experience we could pray for. The staff was energetic, engaging, and loved on all of the kids. The messages were simple but accurate, never watered down, shortened, or taken out of context. Every part was positive.

Bethany PParent

CentriKid Camps really exceeded all expectations! While everything was fantastic, and I mean everything, what stood out most was how the camp made sure to tie everything possible back to the gospel. I can’t wait to bring my kids back for many more years of camp.

Benjamin AParent

CentriKid is changing lives one child at a time, but is also for all ages from 5 to 85. Whether a camper or church leader, if you attend you will leave changed for the better, and more knowledgeable in what God’s planss are for your life.

May younger children come to camp?

We want group leaders and adults to be able to spend time with loved ones during their busy summer, and we understand that, in some situations, parents or guardians may want or need to bring younger kids to camp. Infants or toddlers who do not require additional bed space or meals may come at no charge. Younger kids who need a bed or who will eat meals at camp should be registered as a participant at full price. Younger kids should remain under adult supervision at all times, and may not participate in Bible study, recreation, or track times. Please also consider the needs of your campers, and ensure enough adults accompany your group to build relationships and focus on their camp experience. All participants (even younger kids) must have a completed camp waiver and release (found on step 3 – important forms).

Are accommodations made for kids with food allergies?

Many of our locations are able to accommodate food allergies and sensitivities. Please let us know ahead of time of any allergies so we can communicate them with our locations – we will let you know if they are not able to accommodate your child’s food allergy.

How do you handle medication at camp?

Adult Leaders are responsible for medication brought to camp. CentriKid staffers are not responsible for dispensing medication to campers.

Can guests come visit camp?

Safety is our #1 concern at camp. Please talk with your Kids Minister or Group Leader to have them inform your Camp Director about any visitors during your week of camp.

Should my child bring money to camp?

There will be a camp store open throughout the week where they can purchase fun camp souvenirs. There will also be a missions offering that they will hear about and can give to if they would like.

What will the accommodations look like where my camper will stay?

Click on Find-A-Camp page and select the location your group is attending. From there you will find information about the facilities, housing, and other fun stuff. When you have questions, your Kids Minister or Group Leader may have answers from our regular updates, or they can get in touch with our office!

Are there theme nights or anything special my child should pack?

There are no “dress-up” nights at CentriKid. For OMC, our all-camp event on the last full day, kids and adults are encouraged to wear their team colors! This could be as simple as packing a t-shirt in that color. (Refer question above to find out what color team your child will be on)

Where can i find lost items after camp?

At the end of each day, misplaced items are displayed near buses in the hopes of returning them to their owner. If a camper’s name is on the found item, we do our best to return it to the camper that day. At the end of the week, we discard dirty socks, beach towels, and half-full water bottles. All remaining items left at camp will be kept until the end of the summer and then donated.
