BASC Kids Summer Camp
Renton Christian School offers 8 weeks of camp after school is dismissed in June until it restarts in the fall. There are many fun activities, weekly field trips, special guests, and all-around fun through the summer months! Our summer camp program is only available for students enrolled at RCS, which means kids get to spend time with their friends and classmates. Feel free to sign up for a few weeks or for the entire summer!
Weekly Themes and Field Trips
This summer, we’re diving into the world of books with exciting stories, creative activities, and fun-filled adventures! Each week, students will explore a new book through hands-on projects, games, and themed activities. At the end of the week, we’ll wrap things up by watching the movie that matches the book. Students will also enjoy a water day, chapel, and movie day every week. On some weeks, all students will read the same book, while in others, 3rd grade and up will read the second book listed that is more age appropriate.
