From the sunrise to the sunset, your day will be packed with gospel-centered relationships, water activities, ropes course, best of the best games, and nonstop fun.Your kids will love every moment of camp as we make intentional moments in everything we do to help them hear, see, and experience the glory of God. I’m sure by now you know the challenges (and frustrations) COVID-19 presents and that makes camp look a little different this year! We are approaching camp with your child’s safety as a top priority and are committed to providing them with a clean and safe environment so they can have the best camp experience. In light of this and out of an abundance of caution to strive for a COVID FREE summer, we are intentionally offering 3 day/ 3 night and 3 day/ 2 night camps while also operating around 50% capacity for each session so that we can maintain social distancing and smaller groups, both of which have shown success in limiting COVID-19 cases (and actually give us the opportunity to personally invest in every kid!). We are also ONLY offering overnight camp so that we minimize exposure to outside sources during the duration of camp. […]

  “Children need the freedom and time to play. Play is not a luxury. Play is a necessity.” -Kay Redfield Jamison. We hear these words repeatedly, yet schools are focusing more on structured learning and less on free play and recess. Studies have proven the shortage of play in a child’s life is actually putting a strain on their development and emotional health. The instructors at BTG Learning, located in Columbus, offer academic learning through physical activity and sports. “It gets their whole body engaged in learning, which tends to keep their interest,” explains director Wanda Wozniak, “and if they’re interested in what they’re doing, they tend to retain information better.” BTG Learning focuses on training in math, science, reading and writing for preschool through 5th grade. This academic learning program teaches children that each subject has a real-world value and demonstrates using the skill in your child’s daily life. Instructors come to your home, and your backyard or driveway is the classroom. A session is an hour-long, and instructors come at least once a week. Your child’s curriculum is designed based on his or her needs, and each subject contains a physical activity. For example, if your child is […]
