Your child will make discoveries, grow friendships and explore  activities at Redeemer Renaissance! It is ideal for children to attend camp, where they are supported while they develop their social, physical, and emotional skills through playing, thinking, collaborating, and sharing experiences to make summertime memories.

Camp days will feature combinations of:

active games and sports,

professional performances,

field trips,

arts & crafts,

workshops led by professionals,

creative play,

and one of our favorites, D.E.A.R. time (Drop Everything And Read)! Think of things such as Silly Olympics, music and dance, painting, basketball, pet worms, guessing jars, floor hockey, butterfly garden and bird feeders, scooter toe tag, paper mache, Lego challenges, sprinklers, slime, ladder ball, sand art, croquet, kickball, lava lamps, moon sand, plays, decoupage vases rubber band bracelets, ball launchers, tumbling, solar oven s’mores, and more!
