Celebrate God’s Greatness at Monumental Summer Camp coming to Messiah Church this summer!
Go off-road for a Monumental adventure through the colorful canyons and sun-baked trails of the southwest. This adventure of a lifetime is guaranteed summer fun for your kids 4 years old through (just finishing) 5th grade. We’ll explore God’s awesomeness and form a rock-solid faith for the road ahead with five mornings of high-energy, fun-filled activities, including live music, art, games and science. All are welcome!
Monumental Summer Camp is $35 per child with a max of $70/family (scholarships are available). Each registered family will receive a free music gift and each child will receive a Monumental Camp t-shirt.
Extended Care & Early Drop-Off/Late Pick-Up Options!
Do you need afternoon extended care for your child(ren)? This year we are offering optional extended afternoons of camp for kids attending Monumental Summer Camp. More fun is to be had Monday-Thursday until 4 pm for only $25/child! Afternoon programming allows campers to further explore themes from the morning through supplemental arts, STEM activities, and games. Campers must bring their own lunch, and we will provide an afternoon snack. Campers who stay will have supervised, unstructured playtime from 12-1 pm, and the afternoon adventures run from 1-4 pm. Campers are welcome to register for just the morning camp or stay all day. (No afternoon-only option is available.) Sign up for the extended day as part of the summer camp registration process. Please note: Afternoon extended camp is NOT offered on Friday, June 17.
Also new this year: Early drop-off (as early as 8:30 am) and late pick-up (as late as 4:30 pm) is available. During this time, children will have supervised, unstructured activities designed to make good use of their time as they wait for programming to begin or for their adult to pick them up. Please indicate if you need early drop-off and/or late pick-up when you register your child(ren) for summer camp. Please note: All children must be picked up by 12 pm on Friday, June 17.
