Creek Kids

Posted on by Cindy

March 17-18, 2023
**Deadline to register: March 11

SPEAKER: Dr. Mark Crook
WORSHIP: Matt Vines

We are SO excited to be able to attend Creek Kids this year! Please arrive at FBCJ (horseshoe drive) at 3:45pm to load the vehicles. After a time of prayer, the group will depart at 4:15pm. Creek Kids is 1 hour away. On Saturday, the group will arrive at FBCJ at 2pm.

What is Creek Kids?
Creek Kids Weekend is for boys and girls in grades 1-6 and is a great way for first-time campers to get a taste of what summer camp is like. It begins on Friday evening and ends on Saturday after lunch. Worship services, time at the Snack Shack, a special time for entertainment, and outdoor activities such as archery, riflery, canoeing, and various sports round out this action-packed retreat.

What is the dress code?
Our goal and prayer is for God to be glorified in all areas of our ministry and for clothing not to become a distraction. We ask all campers to dress in a way to be a Christ-like example to others.

With this in mind, the following are examples of unacceptable attire: headwear during worship services, shorts shorter than mid-thigh, shorts/pants with writing on the rear, sleeveless shirts/tank tops/spaghetti straps/crop tops, sleepwear outside the dorm rooms, swimwear in the Dining Hall, leggings/yoga pants, inappropriate artwork, etc. Skirts and dresses should be no shorter than just above the knee.

What should I bring?
Bring an expectant heart, a listening ear, and a positive attitude. Also Make sure to bring your Bible, casual clothes, a pillow, twin-sized linens, towels, personal items, money for snacks and the gift shop. Please label EVERYTHING, even your Bible!

What should I leave at home?
Please leave all cell phones and music-playing devices at home. These items often cause distractions during worship or are lost during camp. Fireworks, firearms, knives, paint ball guns, water guns, shaving cream, skates and skateboards, tobacco, alcohol, illegal drugs, and non-prescription drugs are never permitted.
