Introduce your children to Christian camping on the Lake Michigan shoreline! GENEVA's Day Camp program allows campers to enjoy many of the fun activities of camp but still go home at the end of every day. It's a great way to ease into summer camp at a young age, with many of the same experiences: Bible study, arts & crafts, pool time, songs, skits, and more!

GENEVA Day Camp is aimed at rooting your child in Christ’s love through the care of dynamic counselors who join your campers in playing large-group games; creating arts & crafts; swimming in the pool, splash park, and climbing on the playground. At the center of it all, there will be lots of high-energy songs and skits led by the staff to reinforce the daily small group Bible studies.
 
The fees for the week cover all expenses and activities, a Day Camp t-shirt, arts & crafts, and an 8x10 group photo. Also included are a morning and an afternoon snack each day and milk to accompany your child's lunch. Day campers are asked to bring their own lunch. A refrigerator is available.
 
*Please note: Day Camp is PEANUT FREE. Please do not pack peanuts or peanut butter sandwiches for your child.
 
Check-in begins at 9:15am on Monday morning. Each day for the rest of the week, campers can be dropped off between 8:30 and 9:00am and picked up between 4:30 and 5:00pm.
 
Early Drop-off: Need to get to work early? Drop your child off between 7:30 and 8:00am. We'll have extra activities and breakfast together before the regular day begins. $20 fee for the week, available each day except Monday.

Day Camp Buddies: Please note that we have 2 separate locations for Day Campers (Lakeview Pavilion and Ridge Pavilion). Campers are divided by grade level so please choose a buddy who is either in the same grade or only one grade level different. First and Third graders may not register as buddies because first graders (along with some second graders) will be at Lakeview Pavilion and third graders (along with some second graders) will be at the Ridge Pavilion. The only exception to this will be week D3L where all first through third graders will all be at Lakeview Pavilion.

Multiple weeks: Day campers have the option to register for one session of Day Camp and one session of Shores overnight camp. 3rd graders can choose from 3-day options, and 4th graders can choose from 3-day, 5-day, or 6-day options. Please submit a separate registration for each week.

Busing Info: Busing is available from different cities each week for an additional $25.
