GWKids Summer Camp 2024

 

The GWKids Team and I are thrilled to announce that our kids will be headed to Camp Lone Star in Tomball, TX for a 4-day, 3-night Summer Camp packed with God's Word, His presence, and loads of fun.

Children will learn about how they're God's masterpiece, uniquely created by Him for His glory. They'll dive deeper into who they are in Christ and will be given the right tools to combat the lies of today's culture. One touch from God in His prescence can change your child for eternity and set the on a path to fulfill His highest call on their lives.

We desire that all of our kids have the opportunity to be a part of these life-changing days. Please pray about signing your child(ren) up.

Love in Jesus,

Allison Greiner
GWKids Summer Camp Director

Frequently Asked Questions

 

When/Where & Who

 

GWKids Camp is a four day, 3-night camp full of anointed ministry, worship, small group devotions, puppets, crafts, games, and fun activities. All service times are hosted by GWC staff and volunteers. Select activities will be provided by the Camp Lone Star Staff. The vision of Kids Camp is to provide an atmosphere for children in grades K-5th to experience the power of God, connect with Jesus through worship, and build life-long friendships. These days are set aside to seek God, morning and night, and to learn how to have a personal relationship with Him

The content, teaching, and activities of this camp are geared towards Elementary-aged children. Kindergarteners must be 6 years old by the Camp date in order to attend. If the 6 year-old is staying overnight, they must be accompanied by a parent or older sibling of the same gender. If your child does not meet the age requirement, we hope they can join us next time!

General Questions

 

If they’re showing interest in attending, asking more questions about what they’re learning in Children’s Church, eager to try something new, and are becoming more independent in everyday tasks, that’s a good sign that they’re ready. If your child is staying overnight and a parent is not staying with them, they must be independent in night/morning-time hygiene routines in order to attend. GWC Camp Counselors cannot assist in those things.

Yes! Although getting to stay overnight in cabins helps them get the full camp experience, just coming for the day is available.We understand that staying overnight away from home may be a huge step, especially for our K-1st graders, which is why we offered this option. Parents are welcome to drop their child off at the start of each Camp day and pick them back up after the evening Camp session. If they’re just coming for the day, the price is $60 per day for each attendee, and we encourage them to come to all 4 days if possible. There’s an option on the online form to select the day option if that works best for your child.

GWC is not providing transportation this year because Camp is so close by. If someone other than the parent/guardian is dropping off or picking your child up, please make note of that on the online registration form.

Camp Lone Star offers 3 separate lodging facilities on campus: 2 bunkrooms and “The Lodge.” Our group will utilize both bunk rooms: 1 for girls and 1 for boys. Each bunk room holds about 20 people each. “The Lodge” is filled with 24 hotel-style rooms meant for any extra Camp Counselors or parents wanting to stay overnight with their child (if requested).

You will have the opportunity to provide information about medication and allergies when you sign your student up for Camp. The Camp nurse will oversee medication distribution and treatment of environmental allergies. The chef at Camp will be provided with information about food allergies and will make every effort to provide options that are allergy free. If your child needs to bring special food to Camp, reach out to An updated medical release/allergy form will be sent out when Camp is closer in case there are any updates.

We do not anticipate illness or injury- Amen! Should there be an issue, we need written permission to administer medication and/or take your child to see a doctor. This is included on the Registration Form. If the illness is contagious or very serious, you may be required to arrange travel home for your child.

We do not anticipate any issues with our great group of kids! However, if issues arise, they will be pulled aside and talked with. If there is a chronic issue with behavior, the camper will forfeit future overnight trips with GWKids. If behavior becomes very serious, they will be sent home at the parent’s expense.

Children are not allowed to bring phones and other electronics to camp. We believe this is for the best. It will allow a distraction-free week to experience the presence of God. If a cell phone or other electronic device is brought to camp, it will be confiscated and returned to the parent upon arrival. If there is an emergency, GWC Staff’s phones will be available at all times.

If you’re a parent wanting to attend (NOT as a volunteer), please make note of that on the online form when signing them up. The cost per parent (if not volunteering) is the same as the Child Registration price. Adults attending will be required to complete a background check and Ministry Safe Course before attending.

If interested in volunteering, please fill out the interest form towards the bottom of this page. More info is in that form.
