Can my child be in a group with his/her friends?
Each child can request up to two friends to be placed in the same group as them. In order to be placed in the same group, they must be in the same grade and all have registered by June 20th. While we cannot guarantee every child’s request, we will do our best to place your child with their requested friends.
What will my child do at Summer Blast everyday?
At the beginning of each day you will check in your child with their group leader for the opening program in a designated area that will be the same each day. The opening program is a fun, lively time of worship and teaching where the Bible point of the day is introduced in a kid friendly and engaging way. After the opening program your child will rotate, along with their group, to 4 different activities. Activities include: craft, snack, small group and games. At the end of the morning, your child will return to where they started for the closing session where your child is checked out of their group by a parent or guardian.
