2. Who is the Camp Director?

3. WHO IS THE SPEAKER?
Hey! My name is Bryson, and I have the incredible honor of sharing God’s Word and truth with your child this summer at camp! I have the privilege of serving as the Youth and Young Adults Pastor at Southside Baptist Church in Dover, Delaware, with my wife Lizzy by my side.
One of my favorite things in ministry is seeing kids and teens begin a relationship with Jesus and start a brand new life in Him. There is nothing better than watching young people grow in their faith and discover who God created them to be.
Outside of ministry, I love sports—whether it's watching Kentucky basketball or seeing the Eagles beat the Cowboys and the Chiefs (Go Birds!).
I’m already praying for your child as we prepare for camp, and I’m excited to see how God will move during this week!
4. What if my kid has never been to camp?
That's totally ok! There will be plenty of other kids experiencing camp for the first time this week as well. We think that means they'll have even more fun! We believe camp is a week where life change happens and there is no better way for a kid to spend their summer than experiencing the life change that knowing Jesus brings. They may be scared (you may be more scared than they are), but our team of volunteers and staff, along with the kids and leaders from your own church, will make sure they have the best week ever!
5. Can I come for a visit?
Unfortunately, we cannot have visitors this year at Kids Camp! It is in the policy of the new campground that we are using to help ensure that they are aware of everyone who is on their campsite. But don't worry, if homesickness starts to happen, there are plenty of caring volunteers that will help them feel more at home while they are away at camp!
6. Will there be a nurse at camp?
A certified lifeguard will be monitoring pool time throughout the week, as well as a camp nurse.
The camp nurse will be able to assist in the distribution of daily medications if your child needs assistance in that area.
7. Can my kid bring electronics?
Kids Camp is a great time for your kids to take a break from their electronics and focus on growing in their relationship with Christ. However, electronics are allowed at the discretion of your church's Children Director. For emergencies during the week, please use the list of contacts provided by your Children's Director, or contact the Camp Director.
