Hello Camp Families,


We’re looking forward to a wonderful summer with your campers!


Our weekly newsletter will include photos from the past week along with field trip and activity details for the week ahead. Please use this newsletter, together with Procare messages for day-of updates, to help your camper come prepared each day (including any gear needed for the day). Time-saving tip: if you keep this newsletter open in your browser, you can quickly reference it throughout the week using the table of contents link to jump to your camper's program.


We’re excited to reconnect with returning campers and get to know the new campers joining us this summer. We are praying for each of your families and for a safe, joyful, and memorable camp season. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions—we’re here to help!


—Camp Kingdom Kids Team

As You Pack Their Backpack...

Pack for a Great Day:

  • Bring a labeled water bottle every day.
  • Pack a hearty lunch and encourage your camper to finish it.
  • Include a change of clothes in case of messes.
  • Check the day's field trip/activity and send any needed gear.
  • Label all belongings.


Dress for Safety:

  • Campers must wear closed-toe shoes every day.
  • Campers wear their camp t-shirt (or camp swim shirt, for swim trips) for every off-site day.


Prepare for Health & Medication:

  • Topicals (lotion, sunscreen, lip balm, hand sanitizer) and medications (including cough drops and vitamins) must be kept in the office— not in camper backpacks or lunch boxes.
  • Camp supplies sunscreen unless you opt to provide a specific brand for your camper(s).


Review Electronics Policies (Adventurers, Voyagers, and Trailblazers):

  • Electronics are allowed only on full-day field trip bus rides.
  • Games must be rated E.
  • Campers may use only their own devices.
