SUMMER CAMP 2024 INFORMATION & REGISTRATION:

At this time, we are taking enrollments for Summer Camp 2024. Summer Camp does tend to fill quickly, so please be sure to sign up before we are full! Unfortunately, we will not be allowed to accept drop in students, so please make sure to enroll ahead of time.

Below are our current summer options:

    • FCS Summer Camp-“Built on the Rock” (Pre-K through Grade 5)
    • Game Design, Coding & Robotics (1st-5th Grade)
    • Pottery/Ceramics Play Day (1st Grade & Up): Learn how to use a pottery wheel & play with clay!

We are excited to offer affordable Summer Camp/Sessions to all families!  Fellowship Christian School provides weekly or monthly enrollment, allowing families to register for what fits their summer needs/wants. If you are interested in attending, please complete our enrollment form (linked here).  Completing the summer enrollment form & paying the non-refundable FCS Summer Camp fee will obligate you to the Camp dates you sign up for (due to limited space and availability).

About Camp

This summer we are continuing to offer our hands on and exciting STEAM + B Camp Experience! This summer’s theme is “Built on the Rock.”

Prepare for take-off for a stimulating launch through the worlds of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math (S.T.E.A.M.) AND OF COURSE Bible (B). Students have the opportunity to discover and experience God’s design through interactive, inquiry-based learning experiences created to help enhance their problem solving and critical thinking skills.

Each week, kids will learn all about the world God has created. Students will dig into the Word and be reminded of and taught of who the Lord has made them to be and just how faithful He is. Each week will be a Biblical characteristic from this summer’s theme, including Bravery, Wisdom, Strength, Perseverance, Trustworthiness and Love. All of these will also be paired with a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) activity/learning, to keep the kids engaged in some God breathed science, math and engineering.

All participants also receive a Summer Camp shirt (we provide & they decorate)!

You can expect your kids to be fully engulfed into God’s creation and His wisdom, equipping His children and reminding them of who they are in Christ. They will learn to display and practice displaying all of the Biblical characteristics they learn about each week. Our hope and prayer are that this instills in them a deeper love for the Lord as well and gives them the courage they need to stand firm for God, in this world, and to always remember who God says they are. Each week also includes:

  • Weekly game/obstacle
  • Weekly challenge/build/activity
  • Daily Biblical connection
  • Field trips (when possible, as we are able to plan and transport the groups)

Ages & Camp Items

Ages

STEAM + B camp is open to any student entering Pre-K through 5th grade in the 2024-2025 school year. All attendees must be fully potty trained (and able to use the bathroom unassisted). 7th- 12th grade students may volunteer at a discounted rate.  

What to Bring

Bag/Backpack

  • Campers will need to bring a bag/backpack with them daily, to take home Summer Camp materials & crafts.

Clothing

  • Children who attend the camp should wear comfortable clothing that is suitable for hands on projects and outdoor play. Shorts and jeans are appropriate for most camp activities, as well as tennis shoes and socks. If dresses or skirts are worn, please make sure under shorts or leggings are worn as well, so Campers can fully participate. 
  • Some camp activities may require special apparel (field trip t-shirt) or supplies.  On those days, parents will be notified as to what the student needs to wear.
  • All campers should have an extra pair of clothes, in case they ever need to change. Camp is full of fun activities that can sometimes be messy and/or wet.

Shoes

  • Campers should wear comfortable, closed toe shoes they are able to run and play in.
  • Please, no flip flops or sandals except for water activities. 

Meals & Snacks

  • Every day, Campers will need to bring a
    • Full, labeled water bottle,
    • Ready to eat lunch with necessary silverware and napkins
    • 2 additional snacks (for morning and afternoon)

Food and beverages are not provided nor available by FCS. In order to keep your camper full of energy for their active days at Camp, please make sure all of these food/drink items are packed every single day. As a reminder, the food should not require preparation (they should be ready to eat foods). No food is allowed to be shared so please make sure each child has their own lunch, snacks and drinks (even if they are in the same family/household). Campers will need to pack napkins and silverware, if needed, as well.

Lunches and student belongings are placed in their specific cubby and summer campers are often split up for group activities, so their snacks and food need to be separated from other household members also attending Summer Camp.

Groups

Summer Camp is limited at Fellowship Christian School, so please be sure to sign up as soon as possible. At times, Summer Camp groups may be split up into smaller groups. All groups will follow the same basic schedule, but in different classrooms and outdoor spaces.

Daily Procedures & FAQs

Drop Off & Pick Up

Parents will use the FCS back “1st Grade” door, at morning arrival & dismissal. At the back door, staff are waiting to welcome and walk your child to the Camp classroom. Families are also welcome to walk their child to the Summer Camp classroom space. For safety reasons, no other doors will be used for Summer Camp drop off or dismissal, even if students arrive late.

  • If you do drop your child off at the classroom door, we ask families to try to leave 15 minutes into Camp so students can learn to transition into Camp.

Illness/Family Emergency, Etc.

  • What if there is a diagnosis or exposure to a contagious illness/disease?
    • If you or your child has experienced a diagnosis or exposure, it must be reported to Fellowship Christian School administration right away (email: FellowshipChristianSchools@gmail.com or text 206.486.5882). Summer Campers are frequently in close contact with one another, so we want to help ensure the health and safety of all campers.
  • Family Emergency/Cancellations
    • If you have a family emergency or other type of emergency that keeps your child from attending, we understand this can be surprising, stressful and out of your control. We will be in prayer with you and your loved ones and will hope for the best. Please email us to let us know about your situation and if your child will be missing Camp. Unfortunately, as much as we would love to, we will be unable to transfer Summer Camp sessions to another day/week and will still require payment in full for the session.
    • Our sessions are kept on a tight budget (to include staff planning and scheduling, supply ordering and facility use) as we keep our Summer Camp rates as low as possible. This does not allow us wiggle room with cancellations/refunds/transfers.

Registration/Enrollment Procedure & Costs

Registration

Summer Camp registration opens February 1.

Summer Camp registration fees are due upon enrollment/registration. All billing will be invoiced out via email with Quickbooks. Invoices are sent out each week on Fridays. If you complete registration/enrollment on a Friday, you can expect to receive your invoice within two business days.

If you are new to our registration process, you can:

  • Complete registration online
  • If you are signing up for the 4 or 8 week bundle, please make sure to select the four weeks your child will be attending at the time of registration.

If you have questions regarding registration, please contact us at:

  • P: (206) 486-5882 or
  • E: FellowshipChristianSchools@gmail.com.

Space is limited and tends to fill by May 1; registering before the June 1st deadline will help secure your spot.

Tuition & Fees/Costs

As a ministry to families, the STEAM +B Summer Camp at FCS is priced at a fraction of many similar programs.

  • Our tuition is $125 for each week,
    • Tuition does not include field trips nor camp registration fees
    • Choosing to register for 4 weeks or 8 weeks of camp will include a Summer Camp discount as priced on the registration form
  • One-time, annual camp registration fee of $50 must be paid in full by no later than June 1 or upon Summer Camp registration.

Camp rates are not pro-rated based on attendance. Cancellations still require Camp payment; we can not transfer already scheduled weeks to other weeks (as a credit), due to the quick fill of Summer Camp, staff scheduling and supply ordering that takes place ahead of time. We need to know well in advance what and how many supplies to purchase as well as how many Camp teachers to have. Unfortunately, we can not cancel any of those things with so little notice. We do not provide half day/partial day attendance rates.

Our Mission

The FCS ministry/school continues to work hard to construct a safe, well-structured, and fun environment that allows young learners to explore STEAM+B subjects first-hand. Our ultimate goal is to expand their relationship with Christ, with confidence in who He is, academic knowledge of the science God created, and problem-solving skills for the next generation of believers.
