Service Camps

Camp Ignite is a summer day camp geared specifically for young people going into 5th and 6th grade, designed to establish a bridge from elementary to teen life. Kids will experience increasing independence, service to others, and tons of fun.

Within a typical day camp structure, participants engage in on-site activities such as outdoor play, grade-appropriate educational enhancement to help prevent summer backslide, hands-on experiments and art projects, and team building and group challenges. There are camp days dedicated to extracurricular activities as well, such as lessons based on our ACES (Advanced Camping Experts) program, recreation-based field trips, and community service projects.

Camp Ignite will be located at The Cygnet School (in United Methodist Temple across from Southgate)
