Kids Fun Nights: Camp Exodus
Camp Exodus: Journey with God
This year’s Kids Fun Nights theme is Camp Exodus: Journey with God.
Through exciting stories from the life of Moses, children will discover how God faithfully led His people out of slavery in Egypt and through the wilderness.
Each evening teaches kids that God is:
- Our Deliverer
- Our Guide
- Our Provider
- Our Protector
Most importantly, they’ll discover that wherever life leads, God is always present—faithfully leading, providing, and walking with His people.
Our goal isn’t just to entertain kids (although we’ll definitely do that!). We want every child to leave knowing they are loved by God and never alone.
