2027 Dates and Information

Day Camp is designed especially for campers entering Kindergarten through 2nd grade.

This one-day experience runs from 10:00am–4:00pm and is packed with classic Bond Camp fun — just without the overnight stay. Campers will enjoy games, crafts, chapel, music, outdoor activities, and plenty of laughter, all in a safe and encouraging environment.

Day Camp is the perfect introduction to camp life for younger children who aren’t quite ready to stay overnight but are ready for a big day of adventure.
