Dreaming of Summer
(scroll down to browse our summer camps)
We’re dreaming of summer, and no, it’s not too early. With Columbia opting out of winter and spring sneaking into the spotlight we’re anticipating summer to be ahead of schedule. It’s not going to take us by surprise because our dreams of summer are going to come alive.
Summer can be an anxious time for both parents and children. Kids are desperate to get out of school and parents are desperate to not spend a fortune on nannies and babysitters. Then there’s the boredom factor to consider. How are your kids going to spend their summer days? Sure, there’s netflix and x-box and lots of facebook games… and the potential for your kids to turn into zombies. Three months of moaning, tired, unenergetic children can’t be that bad right?
Here at First, we believe that everyday of summer is an opportunity to live out your dreams. That’s why we’re offering summer camps and programs focusing on music, athletics, arts, and more. Check out our camps below to see what could be a good fit for you and your family. Before you know it you’ll start dreaming of summer too.

Ever thought about trying the ukulele or chimes? Have you ever wanted to learn sign language? Perhaps percussion is something you’ve always been curious about. If those don’t spark your interest why not dabble in drama or dance?
Worship Arts Camp is the perfect opportunity to try something new and learn how to worship through the arts. For five fun days you’ll get to focus on a musical instrument and another art of your choice, learning in a small group environment from teachers who love and practice their craft year round. On the final day you will get to perform with your peers in a big concert celebrating and worshipping through all the various art forms.
Preschoolers have their own track where they get to experience a variety of musical instruments and art forms.
It’s time to start dreaming about the arts this summer. Registration is open! See you this summer!
