Day Camp is about bringing the energy and excitement of Camp Perkins to your site! The Traveling Day Camp ministry partners with your congregation in leading quality Christian programming through a five-day experience for children. We take care of all the programming, so you can focus on building relationships with children and volunteers. Participants will experience God’s grace and love through hands-on Bible Study, devotions, skits, games, archery, other camp-related activities, and interaction with energetic camp staff.
The typical Day Camp schedule is from 9am-3pm, but we will work with you to meet your congregation's needs. Camp will send 3-5 energetic college-age students who can take care of it all!

Share the Gospel of Jesus
One of our key goals is to share the Gospel clearly through all of our Day Camp activities. Worship, study, arts and crafts, and recreation are all designed to make God’s love and Word come alive for children.
Work with the local congregation in reaching out to local children during the summer months
Do you have friends you've been wanting to invite to church? Invite friends and neighborhood children to Day Camp! Day Camp can be an effective tool for Christian outreach.
Strengthen the congregation’s ministry of Christian Education
Day Camp helps keep enthusiasm alive for learning and offers new ideas and leadership styles. Our hope is to help congregations serve the children within their communities.
Provide an experiential faith opportunity
Day Camp gives children a safe, fun environment for nurturing their faith. The children are able to be strengthened in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ through the week’s activities.
Engage in intergenerational ministry
Day Camp is an intergenerational week! Day Camp volunteers are a great way to get adults and older youth involved with your congregation. The shared experiences of Day Camp are an exciting way to build stronger friendships and communities. Camp Perkins takes care of the program so you can focus on building relationships. Through the use of volunteers, evening activities, special events, and proper planning, there is a place for everyone in the congregation during the week of Day Camp!
