We understand selecting care for your child is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. The After School/Summer Camp Program at Celebration can help make the decision easier. This program was founded in 2004 on the principle that young children flourish when placed in a nurturing environment. We offer your child a loving and safe haven – a home away from home. We are dedicated to teaching and ministering to Pre-K through 5th grade children with a desire that these children grow spiritually and come to know Jesus Christ in a real way.
OUR STAFF
Our teachers specialize in TLC – they are trained, loving and committed. Our staff is made up of enthusiastic leaders with a passion for touching the lives of children and a desire to work for the Lord in all they do. They are expected to fully engage and exemplify a high, strong, consistent work ethic and to be the hands and feet of our God.
OUR GOALS
  • Meet both the physical and spiritual needs of each child.
  • Lay a strong Biblical foundation that leads them to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
  • Disciple them and encourage them to grow in their walk with Christ.

Summer Camp 2024

For Rising Kindergarten - 6th Graders
This summer, our campers will begin training as they prepare for an exciting mission, “Mission: Delta 12 2”. Campers will learn and be equipped to be in this world, but not of it. This mission will require in depth training from new recruits as they prepare for take-off!

Our goal this summer is for our campers to learn Romans 12:2 and make this their launching pad this summer. Our name, Delta 12 2, combines the Greek letter delta, a symbol used in math and science to represent a change in something and our theme verse, the force to change.

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”

We are go for launch. Celebration’s summer camp is preparing new recruits for the “Celebration Space Force”, to embark on its latest mission, Delta 12 2. Before lift-off you’ll train for your mission at Celebration’s Summer Camp Training Center (CSCTC). You and the rest of the crew will assume an important role in critical testing and training, with the hope that campers will grow in God’s Word and be grounded in their faith to put their knowledge in action. Mission Control is counting on you to make Delta 12 2 a success! The kids will be inspired to look beyond the stars to their Heavenly Father to think about the things of heaven, instead of the things of earth. Are you ready to take one small step for man but a big one for mankind?

We believe that summer camp is the best place to truly experience the joy of being a kid. Every week will be jam packed with awesome activities! No two days will look the same. Some of the awesome activities include Ultimate Water Days, our weekly Space Jam competition, Special Event Days, hands-on activities, we’re bringing back the dunk tank, our rising 3rd-6th graders will get to go on some field trips, and we can’t wait for this out of this world summer!
