  • Simple conversations you can have at home
  • Encouragement for everyday discipleship

Rainforest Falls Kids Camp

Step through the mist into Rainforest Falls, overflowing with wild waterfalls, towering trees, and colorful creatures. Beneath a canopy of chattering birds and howling monkeys, kids plunge into a lifelong adventure of discovering the nature of God. They’ll explore what it means to be rooted in relationship with God, their creator, a safe place in life’s storms.

What We Teach

We know what your kids learn matters.

That’s why everything we teach is rooted in Scripture and centered on Jesus. Each week, your child will experience age-appropriate teaching that helps them understand who God is, how much He loves them, and what it looks like to follow Him.

​
We use a trusted, gospel-centered curriculum to help kids grow in truth—not just be entertained.

When you plan your visit, we’ll:

We can’t wait to meet your family.

Whether it’s your first time or your hundredth, we want your kids to feel known, loved, and excited to be here.
