Encounter Camp

A new VBS experience for kids at Movement Church!

For years, many of our families have known our VBS as Kid Perfect. This year, we’re stepping into a new season with Encounter Camp—a name that reflects our heart to create space for kids to personally connect with God.

Through worship, hands-on activities, and intentional small-group moments, kids will begin recognizing His presence, hearing His voice, and understanding their identity in Christ in ways that are meaningful and age-appropriate.

 We’re so excited for your child to be part of Encounter Camp! Below are a few helpful details to help your family feel prepared for the week.


We recommend that kids wear comfortable play clothes each day.
Our schedule includes games, movement, and outdoor activities, so clothes may get a little messy. Think active, comfortable, and ready to play.


Sensory Support
We understand that new or high-energy environments can feel overwhelming for some children.

Headphones will be available for kids who may be sensitive to sound, and we have team members available to support children with sensory needs throughout the day. Our goal is to create an environment where every child feels safe, supported, and included.


Safety & Care
Your child's safety is of the utmost importance to us!

Children will be supervised at all times throughout the day.  We have specific adults assigned to escort those that need to use the restroom during their time with us. Only trusted team members are assigned to this role, as we know how important this issue is to us as parents as well.

The only adults allowed to stay on the property during the length of the camp have passed extensive background checks as a part of our team. We understand if you're new to our church, that you want to check it out. We have a Connections team that will be happy to give you a tour of our facilities when you arrive, should you ask for one.

We will have a registered nurse on-site to support any medical needs. If your child will need medication during camp hours, please indicate this during registration and we’ll follow up with you directly with next steps.

Check-In & Pick-Up
At check-in, you will receive a matching security tag. Please keep this tag with you, as it will be required at pick-up each day. This helps us make sure every child is dismissed safely to the correct adult.


Helpful Details
Breakfast and lunch will be provided each day.  
Many activities will take place outdoors, so please plan for summer weather and send your child dressed comfortably for both indoor and outdoor fun.
Please share any dietary and/or outdoor allergies upon registration.

More details will be shared as we get closer to Encounter Camp. Be on the lookout for an email with everything you’ll need to know!
