No Day Camp on Saturday
A Beautiful Beginning to the Camping Journey—For Kids & Parents Alike!
Explore Family Camp is the perfect way to introduce your child to the joy of camp while allowing the whole family to rest, rejuvenate, and reconnect. It’s a vacation for parents, an adventure for kids, and a foundation for family growth—all wrapped into one incredible week at Joy Bible Camp.
Young Explorer campers (ages 6-10) will experience day camp programming filled with
adventure and faith-building activities, all while parents enjoy their own time to relax, recharge, and participate in the Family Camp experience. Each evening, families come together for worship, engaging activities, and meaningful moments that strengthen the bond of faith and family.
This unique experience sets the tone for a lifetime of adventure and connection, giving kids a safe and exciting first taste of camp while parents enjoy their own spiritual retreat.
Note: An adult must attend Family Camp with an Explorer camper if staying overnight. Explorer campers stay in accommodations with their families and do not bunk in cabins with other campers.
