First Chance for Pre-K and K Children: Introduce your kids to the camping experience with this very brief program. One night and two days of lessons, crafts and outdoor activities will have your child excited about camping. Best of all Mom or Dad participate in the program with their young camper. Price includes both parent and child.

Scamp Camp: This two night, three day program allows your little Scamper to grow some independence by being away at camp without Mom or Dad, but not for too long! The program begins Thursday evening and ends Saturday afternoon. Fun and lessons again take center stage with crafts and outdoor activities to round out your child's exciting time at Gold Coast.

Elementary: Now that your child is entering the 3rd - 5th grades, they're ready for a longer adventure. Four nights and three days are just right for your young elementary age child. The older they get, the more activities are available to them at camp. Along with lessons and fun, missionaries begin to play a more important role in the program as children are encouraged to see the needs of our world outside of their local area. If your child has not yet made a decision to accept Jesus Christ as their personal savior, this is the week they will begin to receive that challenge more directly. Now that the child has entered an age of development where they are able to consider abstract concepts and their relationship to a God, there begins a greater emphasis on spiritual development along with the fun and outdoor activities. Your child entering the 5th and 6th grades will have a deeper spiritual experience than previously known.

2008 Summer camp

Who is teaching your child? This is a question we want every parent to ask before they send their child to summer camp at Gold Coast Christian Camp. Summer camp volunteers come from our owner churches. You can visit some of these churches' individual websites to learn more about us. Below is our statement of faith. We believe in the inspired Old and New Testaments as the errorless word of God; the triune God-Father, Son and Holy Spirit; the existence of Satan, heaven and hell as believed in and taught by Jesus Christ; the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ; his substitutionary atonement for sin; his bodily- resurrection and his personal, visible return to claim the Church for which He died; the person of the Holy Spirit who indwells every believer and His work of conviction, regeneration and sanctification through the word of God, the Bible; the necessity of the new birth, in salvation by faith and not of works; in obedience to Jesus Christ alone; and the importance of a life fully committed to the will of God in Christ. Perhaps no doctrine has historically been more divisive than the particulars of baptism. In our attempt to follow the teachings of Scripture our churches practice baptism of a repentant believer by immersion as a part of their faith response to Christ. When we offer an invitation to Christ, we offer an invitation to accept him by faith and they are baptized "the same hour," Acts 16:33.
