Why should kids memorize scripture? Most importantly, because scripture helps them build a personal relationship with God! God’s word is food for the soul (Matthew 4:4).

In this camp, we will learn creative, engaging techniques like singing, hand motions, and visual aids (whiteboards, flashcards) to make the scripture memorization fun and impactful.
When we look in the mirror, many of us see ourselves as ordinary or worse, but God sees us as made in his image. The right image is how He made us as his unique design, set apart and special.

We will spend the week learning different drawing techniques from a retired police officer with 30+ years of experience as a sketch artist.
