The Christian Church in Kansas offers seven age-appropriate camp sessions during the summer months. All camps are held at the Disciples Center at Tawakoni near Augusta, KS. Summer church camps give children and youth the chance to encounter God through nature, solitude, and community to build leaders for today and tomorrow.
2025 Summer Camp: Another Way
Jesus often confronted the world around him with another way of being and by his example, we are reminded that God always invites us to reimagine who we are and how we do things. Being at camp, we are already finding another way, apart from the trappings and distractions of home. In the peace of this space, we will explore what would change if we lived as our authentic selves and respected the truths of others. In this humility, we will imagine how growing changes the way we live. In this potential for transformation, we will imagine how our personal change meets the change we seek in the world. Whether we are addressing unfair rules or dreaming of a time when all people belong, we know that God calls us to do a new thing and faithfully forge another way.
Scholarships:
We believe that camp is for everyone, and no one should miss out on joining camp because of an inability to pay.
