Camp on the Bluff is June 16-19 Monday through Thursday. Camp on the Bluff is only open to rising kindergarten through 5th grade (2025/2026.) Rising 6th graders are too old to attend. The Camp day is 9am-1pm and the cost is $50 per camper for the week. Campers will need to bring lunch each day. Early drop-off starting at 7:30am will be available for $10 per camper for the week. Extended care ending each day at 4pm will be available for $10 per day per camper and you can sign up for as many or as little days as you need.
The camps available this year are COOKING, GARDENING, SPORTS, SCIENCE AND SEWING.
COOKING-Campers will learn the basic of cooking and following a recipe!
GARDENING-Master Gardeners will teach campers to fall in love with the timeless life skill of gardening.
SPORTS-Campers will learn the basics of a different sport each day. Volleyball, Soccer, Basketball, and gym games (like kickball.)
SCIENCE-Each day campers will come to love science through cool projects and exciting experiments!
SEWING (4th/5th only) This small camp will give campers the chance to learn the basics of a sewing machine and how to transform their creativity into reality!
STEP 1 For this first round of registration we are just securing spots. So we will be asking for a bare minimum of information. THIS FIRST STEP WILL NOT GO LIVE UNTIL 6AM ON JANUARY 27TH, 2025. ALL SPOTS WILL BE FILLED IN A MATTER OF MINUTES AND FOR MOST CAMPS ONLY A MATTER OF SECONDS!
Here’s how to do step 1. Select the camp you want your child to attend. Click the link and fill in the questions. At this time you will only need: PARENT EMAIL ADDRESS, CAMPER’S FIRST NAME, CAMPER’S LAST NAME, AND CAMPER’S GRADE 2025/2026 (note this is next year!)
The EMAIL ADDRESS is how we will send you STEP 2 so make sure you type it correctly! We will be on a hard deadline to complete registration and pay so you do not want to miss anything!
HERE ARE THE BEST TIPS WE CAN THINK OF FOR STEP 1!
TIP-Copy your email address onto your clipboard so you are ready to go!
TIP-If you are registering multiple kids for multiple camps go ahead and have those tabs open on another window or even better…(next tip)
TIP-Have somebody help you register if you are registering more than one kid. Like mom, registers one, dad registers another on a separate device.
TIP-Pull up the links to the camps and refresh them as we get close to 6am on 1/27
Once you successfully register your camper for Step 1 you will be sent a confirmation email telling you that you were successful. That email will include contact info for any questions. It will be a few weeks before you are sent an email with Step 2. That email will come from mhendon@bpumc.org. There is a hard deadline for Step 2 so be sure to look out for that email! We will have a waitlist waiting for your camper’s spot!
A few weeks after all the spots have been secured you will receive an email from mhendon@bpumc.org. This email will have the full registration for camp where we will collect payment, allergies, and everything else. It will also have links to early drop off and extended care. You will have about a month to complete the registration before we give your spot away to folks on the waitlist.
Use the waitlist registration if your camper didn’t get their first choice or if they didn’t get a spot at all. We will use time stamps to determine who gets what spot first.
A Nursery is provided every Sunday for all kids ages six weeks to 4K. The nursery will open at 8:30 am and will be open until after our last worship services end at 11:45. Be sure to sign your little ones in so we can be sure we have all of the important allergy and contact information on hand. Also be sure to label bottles, sippy cups, and other personal things!
Preschool Sunday School is every Sunday 9:45-10:35 am. Ms. Marcie will have a lesson just for our preschool kids 2k-4k. Preschoolers signed into the nursery for the morning will automatically attend.
Elementary Sunday School is every Sunday 9:45-10:35am. Mr Stanley will have a fun lesson prepared for our rising kindergarten through 5th graders!
Children's Church meets every Sunday morning (except for the 1st Sunday of the month) for Kindergarten-5th grade! Kids who would like to attend are taken to Children's Church about 15 minutes into each worship service. Children who attend will experience a worship service geared towards them at their age level that includes prayer, offering, and a children's sermon.
Midweek Meetup takes place every Wednesday during the school year from 5:30-7:30pm. During the evening the kids will have a $4 dinner, choir practice, grade-level Bible study, and recreation time. Once a month we also have Wild Wednesdays, which are special Midweek Meetups that are meant for kids to just come have fun!
