Great programming

SU Camps are fun! Specific methodologies have been developed for coaching and Bible sessions to ensure campers get the most out of camp!

Outreach

The majority of children who attend SU camps are unchurched. Every child receives a New Testament, learns how to use it, and is invited to accept Jesus as their Lord and Saviour.

Easy

SU provides all the resources you need to organize, promote, implement and do camp follow up. We can even send staff with all the sports equipment you’ll need!

Inclusive

SU makes camps accessible for children with special needs. Careful attention and support is available when required through the Every Kid Camp option.

Invests in Volunteers

A successful camp depends on your volunteers! Equip your volunteers using the SU video training or invite an SU trainer to conduct dynamic interactive practical workshops. Training enables volunteers to not just run a successful camp, but to engage with campers meaningfully.

“Every Kid Camp” exists to make sure camps are welcoming for children with all types of abilities. In fact the AODA Act (Jan 2012) legally requires all organizations who provide services to the public to be accessible to persons of all ability levels. This does not mean you must provide special programs tailored to children with special needs, but it does mean that they should be able to attend camp like anyone else. SU camps facilitate every kid attending camp. SU staff and interns are trained in inclusion and specialized training can be provided to equip your volunteers to welcome every child!
