Creating a Fun, Safe, & Faith-Filled Atmosphere Where Kids Experience God in a Way They Will Never Forget!
We tell every kid that camp will be the best week of their summer, and at the end of each camp, that’s exactly what we hear! The fun starts before kids even leave the church and doesn’t stop until their heads hit the pillow back at home. Great food, crazy games, swimming, mud, s’mores, hilarious skits, team activities, and more! Kids’ lives are changed at James River Kids Camp!

Questions about camp safety
How many kids and leaders are on a team?
Kids are placed on teams of approximately 10-12 kids. Each team has 2 trained and caring leaders.
How are leaders selected?
Every camp leader is a volunteer who has completed a comprehensive process that includes:
- Completed and approved volunteer application
- Criminal background check
- Mandatory Kids Camp orientation
What does the swimming look like?
We have a beautiful lake and a pool with tons of fun water activities! Every child takes a swimming test on the first day of camp, and we identify any kids that need to have a life jacket in the pool. All kids wear life jackets in the lake. We have staff and lifeguards posted at all swimming activities.
Is there camp security?
The safety of the campers is a top priority. There is 24 hour onsite security and trained adult supervision along with certified water safety teams.
