Summer Programs
Vacation Bible School
Every summer, CCR hosts two Vacation Bible School (VBS) sessions. One is for the 3-5 year olds and is called Little Tykes (LT), and one for K-3rd grade. Each year we have a new theme put together by staff and a wonderful group of volunteers. Children have classes in prayer, the Bible, music, craft and gym time. We have creative snacks and lots of time for fun activities while learning about new aspects of our Catholic Faith and life in Covenant Community.
Kids’ Camp
Following the same theme as Vacation Bible School, Kids’ Camp is a four day Bible Camp for children in 4th-7th grade. Kids’ Camp takes the summer theme deeper and puts it on a more mature level for the older kids. The kids enjoy outdoor activities like canoing, rock climbing, hiking, swimming and games. They will spend time learning how to apply the theme to their daily lives through prayer, dramas and sharings. This is truly a trans-generational event, with volunteers including, married couples, parents, singles, high school students and jr. high helpers. kid’s Camp is not only a wonderful faith building experience, but also an awesome Community building experience.
Summer Sports
Wrapping up a summer of prayer and Bible study, we play. Summer Sports is for children ages 3-12 and offers a sampling of various sports at several different ability levels. We meet three times a week for three weeks, practicing the fundamental and playing baseball (or T-ball), soccer, Frisbee, our own Olympics and a day at the pool. After playing, we have snacks and a craft project relating to our Vacation Bible School theme.
