RTLC Day Camp is a unique partnership designed to provide congregations with a vibrant and faith formative experience that nurtures relationships between the adults and children within the church, and provides an outreach opportunity in the local community. Day Camp is a relational and high-energy ministry similar to a VBS program. Each Day Camp is tailored to the unique context of the hosting congregation, with volunteers and staff from the host congregation working with staff from RTLC throughout the planning and implementation of the program. RTLC staff lead energetic worships, games, singing, and lead or provide guidance in leading Bible study and arts and crafts. Volunteers from the church work with RTLC staff in all of these areas and have the opportunity to participate and play along side of the kids. This dynamic and flexible partnership allows for learning and relationships in the congregation to continue even after RTLC staff have departed. Day Camp is…. Relational – Camp staff, along with required congregational volunteers provide a staff to camper ratio of 1 adult to 8 youth. Renewal – The experience is renewing for the adult volunteers, as well as for day campers. Day Camp can also revitalize a Bible School or Sunday School program with fresh energy and new ideas. Outreach – The enthusiasm and excitement of Day Camp can reach out and minister to the local community, as well as the congregation’s members. Day Camp can be an ecumenical experience by inviting other local churches to participate. Each summer Rainbow Trail partners with over 30 congregations to offer exciting and high energy Day Camp ministry in communities across Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Texas.
