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!

I was excited for my son to have an experience with camp, but also in a Christian environment. This was an opportunity for him to grow closer to our church pastor, as well as learn more about Jesus. My favorite thing about CentriKid is how they make the gospel tangible and exciting for the kids to learn. They make it real and incorporate it into every activity, like recreation, quiet time, and Bible study.

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.

Our kids had another incredible year at CentriKid this summer. They look forward to this week all year long. High-quality staff who serve our children sacrificially and model Christ for them. We can’t wait to be back again next summer.

Brent H.Parent

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 H.Parent

This was my first church camp experience and it far exceeded anything I could have hoped. There is nothing like being in a room full of 9-12 year olds shouting about how much they love God and trust him. If I had heard the Gospel presented the way they do at this age, I could’ve avoided a lot of heartache or at least had the comfort of a personal God through it.

How do you handle medication at camp?

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.
