Our Summer Playground program is designed around you and your needs as a family. We work hard to be mindful of your schedules, both at work and while planning your summer vacations. Making sure that your children feel welcomed and included is our top priority, and and we strive to make sure your child has an unforgettable summer! Summer Playground is a safe, Christ-centered atmosphere where children will grow in friendships, knowledge, and in their walk with God through group activities, guest speakers, journaling, and daily prayer & devotions.

  • To help your child avoid the "summer slide," we intend to incorporate learning activities throughout the day. We will pull activities from different subjects such as history, science, language arts, and more! Each week we will incorporate various activities, snacks, show & tell, and [at times] field trips. Stay tuned for monthly calendars highlighting field trips & special events.

    Additionally, we want this time to be spiritually nourishing for your child! Each morning will begin with a time of prayer, and we will invite the kids to not only submit prayer requests on behalf of themselves or loved ones, but also to begin learning to pray for the individual needs of fellow campers.

    As in prior years, we will also have a morning devotional, and journal time. This time creates meaningful intention, and the children love sharing what it was that they took away from each of the daily devotionals.

    Does your child struggle with certain subjects? As an added bonus, we also have tutoring available through Faith Christian School for students who may need extra help throughout the summer. For information on tutoring, please see the complete Summer Playground informational packet.

  • Once you’ve completed the Google registration form*, a member of our staff will send you an email with the link to your FREE Brightwheel account. This account is where you will be able to receive picture/video updates, teacher messages and notes, billing information, and much more!

    Once your account has been created, the $50 family registration fee will be billed to your account along with a $180 security deposit, and you will have the option of paying by credit card on the app, or by cash/check in person.

    If you have already had a student enrolled in our program before, you will not need to create a new Brightwheel account; the family registration fee + security deposit will be added to your account once this form is completed and will need to be paid before your child can attend Summer Playground.

    Students registered by MAY 16 will receive a free t-shirt on his/her first day of camp. We cannot guarantee that children registered after 5/16 will receive a t-shirt.

    *A separate registration will need to be completed for each child you wish to register into our program.

    Billing is done weekly on Monday for the prior week. The due date for that bill is the following Monday. It is expected that we will receive payment by the due date. If the payment is late by 2 weeks, then the child is no longer able to attend Summer Playground until the balance is paid in full .

  • We plan off site field trips and various onsite activities throughout the summer - water days, bike days, kite day, etc.

    We will finalize costs and dates for each trip prior to the start of Summer Playground. Once the program starts, we will send home field trip forms at least one week prior to the trip that will need to be filled out and returned with payment BEFORE a child is permitted to leave campus.

  • Parents are responsible for packing lunch and two snacks (morning and afternoon) for their child(ren) each day. If your child has any food allergies or dietary restrictions, please let us know.

    Additionally, we ask that all children who attend Summer Playground bring a water bottle with them each day since we spend a lot of time outdoors and want to ensure that the children stay properly hydrated.

  • We ask that all children be dressed in respectful clothing. Shorts are to come to the top of the knee. Crop tops, spaghetti straps, and strapless tops are not permitted. Water day dress code is the same as other days (no swimsuits, etc); please send a full change of clothes on those days.

    Cell phones, tablets, and other toys are not allowed at Summer Playground. Please send appropriate books, reading materials for daily rest and read time.

    Faith Baptist Church will not be responsible for any lost or damaged items. Swearing, bullying, disrespect (to property or people) will not be tolerated at Summer Playground.

  • To ensure the safety of your child, we ask that you escort your child(ren) into and out of the building each day. You will check each child in and out each day with your 4-digit Brightwheel code on the Summer Playground tablet. All approved pick-up persons must be listed, along with a photo, in Brightwheel.

    The safety of your children is our top priority so we will not release your child to someone that is not listed as an approved pick-up person in Brightwheel.

  • Families must fill out a medication form for each child if any medication is to be dispensed to your child throughout the day. All medication must be clearly labeled with the child's first and last name and it must be in the original container.
