The 2024 Student Life Kids Camp Theme is VOYAGE!
God has a grand adventure in store for each of us. We were lost and separated from God because of our sin. But through Jesus, God made it so that there was always a way back to Him. At camp this summer, we will set sail to discover what it means to be lost and what it means to be found. Climb aboard and embark on a voyage to find who God made you to be.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding; in all your ways know Him and He will make your paths straight.” Proverbsa 3:5-6
Student Life Kids Camp believes God’s Word has something to say about everything we do because it is both relevant and instructive for the challenges we face today. Student Life Kids Camp desires to provide a week away from distractions where kids can focus on Jesus and strengthen their spiritual foundation. Keeping the emotional, physical, social, and spiritual development of your kids in mind Student Life Kids Camp plans and prepares an experience that is:
• grounded in Scripture • a safe learning environment
• age-appropriate. • fun & full of energy
Worship services and Life Groups make up the two most important parts of a day at Student Life Kids Camp. Worship services are led by a team of worship leaders who specialize in kids' worship. They have a genuine desire to help teach kids about worshipping God - how we worship Him and why we worship Him. These services include drama, worship music from the SLK Worship band, and sound biblical teaching from a seasoned communicator. Life Groups are made up of kids and adults from our church.
The camp pastor is Nick Murray. Nick’s relationship with Student Life Kids Camp goes all the way back to 2001 when he attended as a camper! 10 years later, Nick served as a camp director for Student Life Kids Camp. Nick loves camp and is not sure where he would be without it. He currently serves as an Associate Pastor at Christ Fellowship Church in Birmingham, AL. He and his wife Bethany have 3 awesome kids, Lucy, Henry, and Gregory.
Student Life Kids Camp ultimately comes down to people. Is life change happening in kids and adults? In Scripture, every time someone spent time with Jesus, they went away changed. Student Life Kids Camp hopes everyone leaves the experience changed. Not because of technical effects, entertaining dramas, challenging recreation, or even meeting new people; but that there is change because we have been with Jesus.
According to an old legend, the Native Americans called the land “Shocco” which means “The Gathering Place.” For many years, God has gathered His people in this small corner of the world. These people, both past and present, have made Shocco Springs the special place it is today.
