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 if you would like your child to attend, enrollment will need to take place ahead of time.
Here are our current summer options:
-
- FCS Summer Camp-“Built on the Rock” (Pre-K through Grade 5)
- Game Design, Coding & Robotics (1st-5th Grade)
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 Summer Camp fee will obligate you to the Camp you sign up for (due to limited space and availability). Please do fill this form out if you would like to have your child attend any of our summer offerings (as well as the Summer Camp Release Forms found below).

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
Who May Attend
STEAM + B camp is open to any student entering grades Pre-K – 5th in the 2024-2025 school year. All attendees must be fully potty trained (and able to use the bathroom unassisted). 9th- 12th grade students may volunteer at a discounted rate.
What to Bring
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.
Shoes
Please, no flip flops or sandals except for water activities. Campers should wear comfortable, closed toe shoes they are able to run and play in.
Meals & Snacks
Every day, Campers will need to bring a full, labeled water bottle, lunch and 2 snacks. 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, for 2024, so please be sure to sign up as soon as possible. All groups will follow the same basic schedule, but in different classrooms and outdoor spaces.
Daily Procedures & FAQs
Drop Off & Pick Up
Parents will bring their campers to the front, double doors or drop them off at the classroom via the front, double doors. For safety reasons, no other doors will be used for Summer Camp drop off or dismissal. At the double front doors, staff are waiting to welcome and walk your child to the Camp classroom. 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.
Cleaning & Camper Storage
All student supplies will be kept in individual cubbies and separated from each other. They will not be mixed. Toys and classroom materials will be sanitized daily. Campers will need to bring a bag/backpack with them daily, to take home Summer Camp materials & crafts.
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). We follow current WA State DOH procedures.
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.
Registration & Costs
Registration
If you are new to our registration process, you can:
Complete registration online. If you are signing up for the 4 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; registering before the June 1st deadline will help secure your spot.
Tuition & Fees/Costs
As a ministry to families, the STEAM +B Camp at FCS is priced at a fraction of many similar programs. Our tuition is $125 for each week, which does not include field trips and camp registration fees. The one-time, annual camp fee of $50 must be paid in full by June 1, 2024 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
Our 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.
