Kidzlink has always aimed to be the best part of your kids’ week. Now, let’s take it to the next level! This will be a week filled with summertime fun with plenty of opportunities for God to speak into your child’s heart.
The Camp Experience

Students who are in 3rd-5th grade during the 2024-2025 school year.

Each student can select up to TWO (2) Camp Activities (see costs below), along with extra money for the Snack Bar. All activities and snack bar money needs to be selected and paid for with the $20 deposit.

If they choose to NOT do the activity you paid for, the money will go into their snack bar fund and anything remaining will be refunded to them at the end of the week.
