Camp Messiah 2026

Note to Parents! If you notice your child's grade is not accurately reflected in our system (and possibly prevents you from registering!) during registration, please email us at kids@messiahmidland.org so we can make that change.

Looking for forests of fun this summer? Join us at Camp Messiah Rainforest Falls where kids will explore the nature of God.

Camp is June 15-June 19 from 9am-12pm. Camp will be filled with tons of hands-on experiences for kids to see, hear, and touch. Incredible science experiments, wacky games, amazing music, and super-fun snacks are just a few of the activities kids will get to enjoy.

At Camp we’ll also help kids discover how to see evidence of God in everyday life—something we call God Sightings®.

Things to know...

• Camp will be for two age groups..
  • Paradise Preschool is designed specifically for potty trained kiddos ages 3-5 years old who have not yet completed kindergarten (kids who have completed a Young 5's program should still attend this section of camp)
  • Camp Messiah is for all our elementary kiddos who are entering 1st-5th grade in the 2026-27 school year
• Everything at camp is hands-on so kids might get a little messy. Be sure to send them in their *new* Camp Messiah T-Shirt and sturdy shoes! Kids should wear their camp shirt each day.
• We'll also be partnering with Operation Kid-to-Kid to raise money to provide nourishing fruit trees to families in Central America.
  Just $9 can provide a family with one tree seedling that could go on to provide nutritious fruit for generations. You can send in donations during the week with your child. 
  
  Our camp theme this year is...
  Rainforest Falls: Exploring the Nature of God  
  Day 1: God is our Creator...Wow God!
  Day 2: God knows everything...Wow God!
  Day 3: God is our safe place...Wow God!
  Day 4: God is love...Wow God!
  Day 5: God is forever...Wow God!

How Can You Help?
It's a privilege to help at Camp. Here are a few roles you might be able to play at camp to make it a special experience for campers.

Camp Counselors (those entering 9th grade and older)! Camp Messiah would be nothing without our camp counselors! Here's what it looks like to be a counselor at camp this year:

• You'll lead a mixed-age crew of 5-6 kids (and possibly co-lead with a junior counselor!)
• You will lead this same crew every day in a group of other crews and rotate around to all the super-fun activities throughout the morning. 
• This means lots of special time connecting with kids and lots of chances to share God's love in a real, tangible way.

Junior Counselors (6th-8th graders)! Are you going to be in middle school (6th-8th grade) this fall?? YOU can volunteer as a Junior Counselor *wohoo* This means you'll be paired with an older Camp Counselor as you serve your crew of campers!

Camp Team Member! Our camp will take campers on a tropical expedition each day as campers rotate through stations which each build on each day's Bible point about our amazing God. A camp team member will be assigned to help at one of our stations, the kitchen, or help get the church ready for camp. 

Donations! We'll need lots of stuff to make camp an amazing experience for all our kids! Watch on Sundays to come for items you can purchase to make camp special for our kiddos.
