We are so excited to have Connect Camp back at Prestonwood this summer! Your kindergarten-6^th grader will be placed in a small group based on their grade and complete all sorts of different camp activities, including archery, epic eats, science lab, and so much more! The camps will be designed for kindergarten through grade 2, and grades 3–6. The camps will run from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (with early care from 7:30 to 8:00 a.m., and aftercare from 5:00 to 5:30 p.m.). We will also host a one-night, preteen-only experience.

Kids and preteens will enjoy an amazing four-and-a-half-day camp experience, Monday–Thursday, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. and Friday 8:00 a.m.–noon. Students will be part of a “tribe” (small group) in which they will learn biblical lessons and how to apply them to their lives. They will have fun making new friends, competing in rec competitions, learning new skills, and growing in their faith in Jesus! Kids and preteens will be grouped by grade, and each grade will have their own camp experience built for them! Parents may drop off kids as early as 7:30 a.m. and pick up as late as 5:30 p.m. Camp fun begins at 8:05 a.m.!

What Does Summer Camp Mean to You?

“I loved the worship and the community it built”

“I loved being with my friends in the cabin, and all of the fun activities. The worship was one of my favorite parts of camp”

“Camp Renegade provides an opportunity for my children to encounter God in a fun, active, and engaging way! This concentrated time results in life changing spiritual growth in my children’s lives!”

“Camp is one of my family’s favorite parts of the summer. I love that my daughter gets to get away from all of the distractions of the world and focus on Jesus. She loves getting to play, swim, and worship with her friends! I’m so grateful for camp Renegade and the lifelong memories she makes while growing her heart for the Lord. “

“It’s an opportunity to pour into and share the love of Christ with these kids in an immersive setting! To have a few days straight to teach Bible lessons, show them how to have devotional time, share in worship, and have a lot of fun! It’s truly life changing! To see kids, give their lives to Christ and have that opportunity to talk to them and pray with them is such a blessing! Personally, it’s important to me because my kids trusted in Christ at camp!”

“Camp Renegade means to me is learning about God’s word and how firm it is. It helps so many people to let Jesus into their heart and saves so many people and it’s fun that we get to go to cabins, and the water, and make new friends! It’s an amazing opportunity to know God’s love for us.

“Camp renegade means to me is I get to learn about God and make new friends!"
