The excitement begins at 6 p.m. Aug. 26 with a family cookout. During this time, parents/guardians are encouraged to attend with their children for a time of fun and fellowship. The evening will wind down with a story from a very special guest.

On Saturday the children are encouraged to arrive at 9 a.m. for some group building games. The remainder of the day will be filled with fun learning activities. Lunch will be provided.

Things wrap up at 3 p.m. with a closing service. Parents/guardians are asked to attend.
