July 9-13 | Daily from 1:30-4:30pm

Grab your megaphones, lace up your cleats, and tune up your horn. It’s time to gear up for the big game! It’s go time! Whether you’re the type to root from the stands, march in the band, cheer on the field, or hustle to the line, the time is now—it’s Game On!
Kids are under so much pressure—to perform well, to be the best, to balance schedules that are full to the brim, to excel in every arena. From that vantage point, life’s big game can seem like no fun. But when we step back, we realize that the goal is not competing in our own strength. God has already given us everything we need! He’s given us His complete Word as the ultimate playbook. He’s given us Himself, which gives us a reason to celebrate. He wants us to join His team, to train hard, to celebrate our salvation, to encourage one another, and spur each other on. So what are you waiting for? This is Vacation Bible Adventure 2018. It’s Game On!
Questions? Laura Quaratiello, Mindy Lincicome, or Heather Carlson

Elementary Day Camp is July 23-27
Campers bring a sack lunch each day
Price includes all admission prices,transportation for day trips, snacks, activities, and T-shirt!
Middle Summer Camp | July 30-August 3!
Middle Summer Camp registration is now open and we’d love to see your 6th, 7th, or 8th grader join us for one of the best weeks they will have all summer. Monday, July 30 through Friday, August 3rd, we’re heading to Camp Cascades. Your middle schooler will be having fun with friends, playing crazy games, swimming, hiking, climbing the ropes course, eating fun food, being launched on “the blob”, making lots of noise, and having the time of their lives.
While I believe that attending church and weekly youth group gatherings are important, I have learned over the years how vital a week of camp can be in the life of a middle schooler. For many, a week of camp gives young people a very unique opportunity to experience God and to hear His voice in a way that is unlikely to happen anywhere else. That’s the reason why we create camp experiences like this and that’s why our middle school volunteers and staff are so looking forward to spending time with your son or daughter at camp.
Cost: $475
If you have any questions about camp, please reach out to Nate Rice or Alayna Brand
High School Extreme Week is August 5-10!
Experience something legendary: Extreme Week 2018. Over five days on the Klamath River, you will conquer the rapids of dragon’s tooth, sing underneath thousands of stars, make life-long friendships, and discover a God whose love is transforming.
Students will leave early August 5th on a bus and in vans to drive down to Happy Camp, CA. There, we spend our days rafting on the Klamath River, eating river tacos, and hiking. In the evening, we will gather to learn from each other, hear inspirational messages from the gospel of Luke, and respond to God through song, worship stations, and conversation. We arrive back in Bellevue, WA, late on August 10th.
For students entering grades 9-12 in the 2018-19 school year.
Cost: $499
Registration is now open!
