Camp
Campers will get a chance to experience music and performance, dance, and many kinds of visual art at a pace that will grow their skills but still provide a fun summer time atmosphere where they can discover and share creativity within a community of faith. Your kids will have a chance to grow in confidence as they explore and deepen skills in the arts, make new friendships, and learn from caring mentors.
The Recital
The day camp experience culminates on Friday, June 30th with a special collection of performances and an art show. Every child that participates will be given an opportunity to shine! There are no auditions and no pressure. Beachfaith Kids goal is to help each child discover their own self-confidence, and find joy in sharing their gifts with others!
This event will be open to family and friends of the campers as well as our church and anyone else interested in attending.
