Welcome to Camp Fireside—the most fun few days your kids will have all year.

This year at Camp Fireside we will be learning about Our Awesome Jesus and how there is no greater life than a life lived for Jesus.  Each day will be an adventure full of amazing Bible stories, fun games, engaging camp activities, and of course delicious camp treats.

Join us Wednesday, July 2nd through Friday, July 4th from 9:00am - 12:00pm at Sandy Lake Academy in Bedford.  And then come back on Sunday, July 6th for our last day of camp, which will be held during our weekly worship gathering at 10:00am.  Camp Fireside is for children age 4 through (completed) grade 5.
