Programmes
we offer Several programmes for younger members of the family
Little Fishers
1–4 Years
This is a fun place for the younger children to play in a safe, supervised, indoor and outdoor environment. Any parents who wish to stay with an unsettled child may do so. The children are supervised by mature young adults and responsible 15+ students. Please ensure your children come with sunhats and sunscreen.
Children’s Programme
4–12 Years
At Children’s Programme, we teach God’s truths in ways that are understandable and exciting. Seeds are planted in each child’s life that will yield much fruit in due season. Team leaders are taught creative ways to integrate life principles into lessons that captivate and motivate the children. The Children’s Institute is age and sibling integrated. (Any 4, 5 or even 6 year olds who aren’t ready for a whole day of Children’s Programme are welcome to hang out at Little Fishers for afternoon playtime.)
Alert
Boys 13+
The ALERT Cadet Challenge, for young men, is filled with spiritual, mental, and physical lessons designed to impart a global vision for service to each young man and challenge him to develop a heart fully committed to Christ. Participants will enjoy challenging outdoor activities, spend time in God’s Word, and learn and practice new life skills.
Commit
Girls 13+
Cultivate your relationship with the Lord and get a vision to change your world! The sessions and activities of COMMIT are planned with this goal in mind: to motivate young ladies to choose to seek God first, to become fully committed to Him, to love Him with all their hearts, and to humbly serve others in their irreplaceable youth. The teaching is presented with Bible references, personal illustrations, and life applications.
Student Sessions
Students 13+
Students 13 and older who are not serving or participating the Alert Cadet Challenge or Commit programs are expected to sit with their families during sessions. Separate sessions are provided for the young people whilst parents are at small group sessions.
