Grands Camp

Wood Fellowship Hall

Grandparents and grandchildren who are interested in spending time together whilst sharing stories about God’s love are invited to a special event from July 21-23, 2025. "Grands Camp" will be structured like an all-ages Bible School. Participants will enjoy Bible stories, art projects, music, service projects, snacks, and more. If you would love to share time with your grandchildren in a space with structure for learning and plenty of space to play, give Grands Camp a try! Children in grades Pre-K all the way through 5th grade are welcome to participate. Activities will be designed to accommodate all ages of learners. (Children under three are too young for this offering.) $25 covers the cost of snacks and service activities for your whole family. We suggest no more than 2 kids per grand. "Grandparent" is a loose term and we don’t aim to leave anyone out! An adult with kids in any format is great with us! Volunteers are needed to make the week a success! If you have time to give Grands Camp. please reach out to dphillips@firstpres-charlotte.org
