Science Camp

Science Camp is another way we focus on a child's spiritual education at Illumine. This five-day camp is a little like the Vacation Bible School you may be familiar with, combined with fun and engaging Science topics kids love. Science Camp teaches kids of all ages using a combination of games, crafts, lessons, music, and collaboration.

This valuable resource will help you run your own successful five-day Science Camp event, and in doing so you will be able to help kids in your community understand that God is the god of all things, including science. We’ve created this resource because we believe that when kids are able to connect science and religion, both areas of thought will make more sense. Thank you for investing in the spiritual and intellectual foundation of future leaders in Christ’s church.
