Children’s Summer Camps 2012
Children attend camp to relax and experience God’s creation,
love and grace through outdoor activities, crafts, scripture activities,
music, art & drama, and guided play. Adults attend camp to serve
children and receive all of the above!
The Conference Council on Children’s Ministries offers camps for children
in 3 age levels at Mount Wesley Retreat Center each summer. Choose
the camp according to the grade that you will be entering in the fall. Camp activities include hands-on creation, labyrinth, indoor & outdoor activities, swimming, Bible fun, and making new friends.
