At FIRST we know how to do summer right, which is why we’ve got so many great camps and summer programs for kids! Whether you’re into sports, arts, music, or dance, there’s an adventure waiting for you. So go ahead and start exploring the camps below and let’s dive into summer!
(Click on the shortcuts below to jump to specific areas)
Worship Arts Camp is the perfect camp for kids who love to dabble in the arts. For five fun days kids get to worship through the arts choosing one musical instrument and an add on art focus from a wide variety of classes. Worship Arts Camp gives kids a chance to try something new without the commitment of private lessons or buying an instrument. It’s a great way to get some hands on experience and learn what it means to worship God through music and other creative arts.
We offer a ton of classes to ensure small group environments so that kids get the attention and training they deserve. We have fantastic teachers who practice their craft year round and have a special desire to see children learn more about the fine arts. On the final day of camp the children get to perform a miniature concert with their peers showcasing what they learned during the week.
This camp is one of our most popular of the summer so please sign up ahead of time because space is limited. We hope to see you this summer at Worship Arts Camp.
