Day Camp
Entering Grades 1-4
Entering Grades 1-4
GENEVA Day Camp has two programs in one: classic Day Camp and the one & two night overnight sessions. The Day Camp program is for children entering 1st – 4th grades, but the grade ranges depend on which session you choose. Choose a session that works for your child to attend, and make sure to be aware of a few basic guidelines prior to registration.
Come to GENEVA Day Camp and discover the joy of summer camp! Groups of eight campers and their counselor get to know each other while hopping on the jumping pillow, climbing on the playground, and learning in Bible study. All of Day Camp joins together for fun in the pool, worshipping with energetic songs alongside silly skits and playing all camp games.
Our goal in Day Camp is to provide a place for younger children where they can meet new friends, learn more about the character of God, practice prayer, and grow in responsibility. Each activity happens under the care of passionate camp counselors who provide encouragement, leadership and fun.
Give overnight day camp a try and get the best of day camp plus a Thursday overnight. Special evening activities, meals over a campfire and in the dining hall, polar bearing, and sleeping in a cabin make this an extra special week.
Get more out of camp with a 2-night session. More time means extra activities, more memories, and special time with counselors as campers engage more of what camp has to offer by staying two nights at camp.
Special guests Joel Schoon Tanis and Steve Carigon join with GENEVA staff for this unique camp experience. Songs and skits gatherings combine comedy and art to share Bible stories under their leadership. Campers can participate in a large group art project as a highlight of the week in addition to all the typical camp activities.
Four days rather than five, this camp session is a little shorter than the others, but we’ll still pack tons of fun into the week!
Early Drop-off is available Tuesday – Friday only
Drop your child off at the GENEVA Center 8am. They will eat breakfast with the Day Camp staff and then go to the area they’ve been assigned to for the week and have a chance to play on the playground while the other campers are arriving. $35 for the week ($30 for short sessions).
