Morning
At My Kids Day Camp our morning is packed with fun, faith-based activities. We begin with an opening session where we sing, dance and learn our daily Bible Point. The group will then move through 4 stations (ie. Bible story, craft, gym games and crew time) with a break for snack and to recharge. Each day we will wrap up the morning with a closing session that includes the now famous box game, some friendly competition, songs and much more.

Afternoon
Each day will look different as campers take part in adventures on the My Church Winnipeg property and surrounding community. Here are just a few of things we have planned for our afternoons: water wars, scavenger hunts, nerf battles, BIG art projects, races, and more.

The schedule for each week will be sent out the week before your camper arrives to all day camp families.
