Kidzlink has always aimed to be the best part of your kids’ week. Now, let’s take it to the next level! This will be a week filled with summertime fun with plenty of opportunities for God to speak into your child’s heart.
The Camp Experience
-
Students who are in 3rd-5th grade during the 2023-2024 school year.

Each student can select up to TWO (2) Camp Activities (see costs below), along with extra money for the Snack Bar. All activities and snack bar money needs to be selected and paid for with the $20 deposit. Scholarship/fundraiser money your child receives will be taken off the remaining balance NOT activities or snack bar. If they choose to NOT do the activity you paid for, the money will go into their snack bar fund and anything remaining will be refunded to them at the end of the week.
Cost Includes: Camp lodging, transportation, meals, camp t-shirt, and basic camp recreation.

Apply for Scholarship
We love to send kids to camp because we know that they experience God there and come back changed and ready to change their community. To that end, we offer scholarships to help families be able to afford camp. Every family is expected to pay the downpayment, any extra activities they choose, and canteen money at the minimum. If you need help paying for the rest of your camp balance, apply below. We will review your application and someone from our team will contact you to let you know if your request has been approved or denied. We are so excited for your kid to experience camp this summer!
If you have questions regarding our scholarship process, your scholarship application, or donating for other kids to attend camp, feel free to email kidzlink@crossroadscn.com or call 815-233-9004 and ask for Pastor Dave.
