At Thrive Camp, we create inclusive environments that build connections, strengthen faith and provide unexpected opportunities… for students of all abilities!

When: June 29 – July 2, 2020

What to expect?
Every day, campers have opportunities to enjoy music, Bible teaching, arts & crafts and field trips adapted to each camper’s abilities. Each child will be paired up with a buddy for the week. Campers bring a lunch packed from home and are provided snacks while at camp.

How can I help?
Volunteers needed: We’re looking for energetic, patient and passionate crew members to share God’s love with kids of all abilities! Upper elementary and middle school students may apply as a camper in order to serve as a one-on-one buddy for another camper. High school students and older may apply for crew to serve as a one-on-one buddy, a small group leader, or in one of the various behind-the-scenes roles. Crew members must attend a mandatory training on Sunday June 28th from 1-5 pm. Click here to review crew job descriptions and expectations.

Care for Kids is a Bible based support program for kids–infants through pre-teens— who may be sad, angry, worried, or bullied because of the stresses of living in today’s world.  Meeting kids right where they are in the midst of significant family changes, leaders will teach life skills and God’s truth.  Children will learn how to name their feelings, express them in healthy and appropriate ways, and identify when it is time to ask for help.  By experiencing God’s love through meaningful games, activities, stories, and interactions, kids will grow in all their relationships.

Note: Children enrolled in this program need to have at least one parent or guardian enrolled or volunteering in an adult Monday night group, class, or workshop. Register your child(ren) when filling out the Care Group registration form.

Materials are provided. Donations for snacks and materials gratefully accepted during drop off times. Contact careforkids@crossroads140.com with any questions.

We are looking for volunteers willing to be a part of our Care for Kids Team. Volunteer for as many weeks as your schedule allows. Can only help out for 1 or 2 weeks? We would still love to have you! Students can earn service learning hours.

This group for adults between the ages of 18-29 offers a safe place for those who struggle with a range of emotions such as depression, loneliness, fear, anxiety, compulsions, and obsessive thoughts.

It is our hope that participants will find a safe place in this group as we encourage each other in overcoming the emotions and behaviors which paralyze us.  Together we can find victory in Christ, moving above and beyond the depression, the worries, the labels and anything else that interferes with the life God intends for us.

Materials: I Declare War by Levi Lusko. Book & Study Guide are available for purchase on Amazon.

Children’s ministry available through the Care for Kids program. Contact depressioncare@crossroads140.com with questions.
