PASSPORTkids | Summer Camp For Children's Ministry

Exploring a world without borders.

PASSPORTkids is a 4-day, 3-night children’s camp filled with fun faith-building programming and hands-on missions education. It is for students who have completed 3rd – 6th grade.

At camp, your students will discover God’s love and practice being followers of Jesus through an active schedule of Bible studies, missions education, recreation, and worship. As group leaders, you’ll be able to focus on engaging with your children without taking on the burden of planning and logistics.

“PASSPORTkids has laid a great foundation in our kids and youth by providing a mission-oriented, theologically sound grounding in the Christian faith, and how to live it in service of others.”

–Irmgard Schopen-Davis, Fellowship Baptist Church, GA

“Passport provides a beautiful balance between fun, learning, service, and worship.”

–Regina Erwin, Emmanuel Baptist Church, LA

“Passport is always thoughtful, intentional, and challenging with a ton of fun included.”

–Chris Cherry, St. Andrew’s Baptist Church, SC

What To Expect:

Safe Structured Environment

The safety of your students is our staff’s number one priority throughout camp. Every session boasts a 1 to 5 adult to child ratio. PASSPORTkids promises a physically, spiritually, and emotionally safe environment for your children to learn and develop their Christian identity.

Hands-On Mission Education

Everyone, no matter the age, can be a part of God’s amazing work. Through interactive missions education, your children will learn and participate in what God’s people are doing around the world. Each year’s missional theme educates your kids about new places and people groups, with a focus on how to be a good neighbor globally and at home. At our hallmark party, Night Market, your children will ‘travel’ to a night bazaar and explore the sights, sounds, and tastes of the country that they have been learning about.

Developmentally Appropriate Programming Rooted In Scripture

PASSPORTkids is focused on creative discipleship in a way that meets your children where they are. Our team works year-round to create programming and activities designed for each developmental stage. Through hands-on activities and thoughtfully planned teachings, each of your children will be taught scripture within a framework designed for their optimal learning and development.

Intimate, Low-Pressure Experience Aimed at Equipping Children for a Lifetime of Faith

PASSPORTkids intentionally has created an intimate, grace-filled, low-pressure environment for your children to build their spiritual foundation. All of our messages are thoughtfully designed to bring the Bible to life and grow your children’s understanding of how much God loves them.

Mentorship and Pastoring By Young Christian Women & Men

Your children will have the opportunity to meet and learn from our diverse and incredible staff. PASSPORT employs called and committed Christian women and men for our summer teams. Encountering a relatable Christian role model can change a child’s life, encourage them as followers of Christ, and help them understand what lived faith looks like.

Ability To Tailor Experience To Your Group’s Needs

If you have children who need special attention or accommodations, know that we are committed to making your camp experience both accessible and valuable.

Bible Study

The PASSPORT team spends all year crafting creative and thoughtful curriculum for your children’s Bible Study. Building on itself through-out the week, Bible Study is a time to explore the theme and dig into the daily scripture passages. Rather than being merely consumers of the curriculum, your children will be given opportunities to lead and share their thoughts. Through art projects, story telling, quiet moments and group work, Bible Study time engages children of all learning styles.

Child Participation

Camp is not just for children, it is partially led by children. PASSPORTkids encourages campers to be active participants by offering opportunities to lead in Bible study, worship, mission rotations, and other aspects of camp. From performing an interpretive dance, to reading scripture or prayer, to leading a processional in worship, your children will be taught that they are not just the future of the church, but they are the present.

Rec Party

Starting camp with a bang, the first night’s Rec Party is a fast-paced, big game, all-stops-pulled-out recreation event! Team spirit is high as campers participate with their Bible Study Groups, wearing their house colors, and cheering on their team. The games feature a variety of styles, from relay races to adventure initiatives. Each team must work together to achieve the goal.

Night Market

Wherever you travel in the world, you can commonly find a bustling marketplace. PASSPORTkids brings that market to camp! Each year, we visit a new part of the world and imagine into reality the tastes, sounds, and textures of beautiful far away places. Crafts, games, and food abound in this interactive event that has campers tasting unique foods, playing new games, and bartering for goods along the way. Camper’s can find instructions in their passport (the printed guidebook they carry throughout camp) to help lead their interactive experience in the fun challenge of the Night Market!

Variety Show

On the last night of the session, campers showcase their interests and abilities in a camp-wide Variety Show. Humorous skits are among the most popular acts, accompanied by musical performances, dance routines, and novelty acts. The best and most meaningful presentations are the ones that entire church groups are able to prepare in advance. We’ve begun a tradition of all campers attending the show in costume, which allows EVERYONE a chance to participate in the fun. There is plenty of laughter, cheering, and encouragement to go around!
