ALPS PALS SUMMER CAMP

Through our ALPS PALS Summer Camp, participants will explore who they are and who God has created them to be in relationship with those around them.  Through a variety of themes, activities, field trips, guests and devotions they will learn to be positive Christian role models to those around them while learning about the world they live in.  Each week we will explore unique themes that will enhance their learning and growth into oaks of righteousness (Isaiah 61:3).
