Program Curriculum 

2008 Theme: Just Jump!
"The Lord is my strength and shield.  I trust him with all my heart.  He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy.  I burst out in songs of thanksgiving." Psalm 28:7 (NLT)
 
Something about Jesus makes you want to jump.  Our 2008 SportsLife Camps theme, "Just Jump!", will follow Biblical stories of ordinary people who made some outrageous jumps for Jesus, inviting your kids and their friends to understand and respond to Jesus' great love, the ultimate source of joy in their lives.  Your kids will erupt with a can't-keep-it-inside excitement that makes them want to jump for Jesus.
 
SportsLife Camps uses several curriculum and programmatic tools to help kids understand each day's lesson, including video skits, live skits, experiential learning, games, music, reading from Scripture and Scripture memorization.
 

 
Superhero Captain X-CITO will join us again each day of camp via video as he takes us on more of his crazy adventures!
 
 

While SportsLife Camps promises outrageous fun for you and your kids, we take seriously the opportunity to share the life-changing story of Jesus.  Our innovative program curriculum presents a simple and inviting Gospel message.  We invite kids to explore with us what it means to know and follow Jesus as they not only see and hear what the Bible has to say, but participate in the story in creative and engaging ways.  Our 2008 SportsLife Camps theme, "Just Jump", invites campers to understand and respond to Jesus' great love, the ultimate source of joy in our lives.  If your church wants the opportunity to talk more about it with your campers in the context of your own church tradition, we can make room for you to do so.
