Camp Kingdom Kids: June 15-19

June 15-19, 2026
Hello Camp Families,
We've had a fantastic first week of camp and are excited for next week!
Tip- Procare Messaging has two channels:
- Use the "Classroom Channel" for day-of absences, care details, and other notes that staff with campers need to be aware of; office admins and program staff view these messages.
- Use "Office Channel" for vacation requests, billing questions, and other office-specific information; only office admins view these messages.
Tip- Swim Shirt Care:
- The swim shirt care tag calls for hand washing; consider hanging shirts to dry so they do not shrink in the dryer.
We are praying for your campers and your families; please reach out with any prayer requests or camp questions. Here we come, week 2!

Prepare for Health & Medication:
