Camp

Overview

On the first day, kids walk a red-carpet upon exiting the bus, and they are greeted by dozens of highly trained volunteers who are ready to show them love and help make camp a memorable experience for them.

Camp activities include breakfast club with puppets and stories, arts & crafts where kids make anything from bug houses to beaded necklaces, archery exercises, water gun battles, and other games; tea parties; and drama nights with lots of music and singing.

Each child leaves RFKC with all their camp adventures documented in a souvenir photo album—whether it’s their first fish ever caught, learning to swim, their birthday cake, or flying down the water slide—and it always includes their favorite photo, with their camp cousin.

The last day of camp, kids written their dreams and prayers on lanterns, and then release them on water, in a beautiful display of faith and hope. The camp closes in prayer.

Cousins

Camp counselors

Camp counselors called “cousins” become each camper’s biggest cheerleader,
encourager, buddy, confidant, champion, and friend.

A 2:1 ratio is maintained at all camps
