For campers ages 5 through 13, the Spirit of Summer comes to life through the power of Kidcam Camp at First Christian Church.
Kidcam is excited to partner with First Christian Church, on Robert and Christian, for the seventh summer in row. This location is two doors down from the library on Robert in between Gause and I-12. This camp is non-denominational. The Cornelius Center in the back of the church grounds is Home Base for activities.
Kidcam’s weekly activities promote fun, fitness, friendship and creativity. Campers celebrate a different theme each week, while incorporating a curriculum filled with sports, creative arts, STEM, team building games, life skills, onsite field trips, talent shows, swimming and water play, along with 50 years of memorable Kidcam traditions.
Campers swim weekly at Pinewood Country Club.
*NOTE: Campers must be 5 years or older before attending a Kidcam Camp.

Prepaid funds are shared between campers on the same account.
Money may be applied toward balances due in either account if there are funds in one, and a balance due in another.
It’s recommended to pay only what’s expected to be used as refunds are not given on prepaid accounts. Funds will rollover to the following week and camp year.
Accreditation
Kidcam Camps is proud to be Accredited by the American Camp Association. ACA Accreditation means that your child’s camp cares enough to undergo a thorough (up to 300 standards) review of its operation every year — from staff qualifications and training to emergency management. ACA collaborates with experts from the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Red Cross, and other youth-serving agencies to assure that current practices at your child’s camp reflect the most up-to-date, research-based standards in camp operation. Camps and ACA form a partnership that promotes growth and fun in an environment committed to safety. ACA accreditation assures families that camps have made the commitment to a safe, nurturing environment for their children. ACA standards are recognized by courts of law and government regulators as the standards of the camp community.
