Summer Xplosion Day Camp is an essential part of a child’s growing up process. It offers the chance to explore the great outdoors and interact with others. Summer Xplosion encourages strong friendships, confidence, constructive fun, and a growing understanding of Creation and the Creator God.
Summer Xplosion Day Camp is devoted to building relationships between Children and Councilors and more importantly with the Creator God. We see children learning that they are children of God, growing in relationship with Him, eager to spread the love of Jesus to everyone they come in contact with, and be connected to a strong church family.
Our professional staff model excellent behaviour and find joy in working closely with children. They are always available to answer questions and assist children with special needs.
Leaving your child in our safe, reliable, family friendly environment is a choice we are sure you will want to make because we highly value children. Our hope is when your child leaves, they have had a life changing experience which will last a lifetime!
