Kids #1 - Gr 2-5 |
|
What is better than a week of summer camp crammed into one weekend? Being able to experience it with your youth group! These weekends combine all the fun of camp – hilarious skits, crazy cheers, cool camp games – with intentional programming designed to maximize the time leaders get to invest in their students. Pine Cove breaks down the conference into elements of fun and spiritual depth that perfectly fit the elementary-age student. The Towers staff chooses experienced speakers who will challenge the students and provide a foundation for the church to build on when the conference is over. Our desire through these Kids Conferences is to come alongside and be a support for the foundation that is already formed in a children’s ministry. Throughout the weekend, we give leaders the chance to have one-on-one interaction with their students, the chance to live out the Christian life in front of them, and the chance to lead them to Jesus. Our hope is that kids will experience Jesus and grow deeper in their relationship with Him through their time at Pine Cove.
