Frequently Asked Questions
Please find below the most commonly asked questions about kids camp. If your question is not here, please do not hesitate to contact either your Church Representative or the Kids Camp Committee for further questions or clarification.
Who can come to kids camp?
Children must be in 1st to 5th grade. Children should be able to stay away from home on their own (with servants) and be potty trained and be able to bathe themselves.
Where is Kids Camp?
Kids Camp is held at Lake Swan Camp in Melrose FL. You can nvisit their site at https://www.lakeswancamp.org/
How does rooming work at camp?
Children are divided into cabins by gender and grade with 1 servant for every 4 children. Each child gets their own bunk in a bunk bed. Unfortunately, special rooming requests (children or servants) cannot be accommodated. Specifics are determined after registration is complete based on number of both children and servants registered by gender. The goal is to both forge new connections and strengthen those already existing both amongst kids and with servants.
How will we get to the camp and get home?
Each Church coordinates transportation to and from the camp, please contact your Church Representative for further details.
What do we do at camp?
We spend 4 days in Christian fellowship with others from Churches across Florida. We pray and play and grow together in Christ. Check out our schedule and pictures and videos to see what we have done before!
Who can serve at Kids Camp?
Servants must have graduated high school to serve at kids camp. They must also EITHER be directly involved in the service of children at their home church OR have served at a previous Kids Camp. They must also be approved by their Church Priest. Servants MUST be able to attend the entire duration of camp.
