frequently asked questions
Throughout history, God has chosen to communicate with people using outdoor settings. Winter Camp gives kids a chance to press pause for one weekend of the school year and focus totally on God away from their normal routine. In this “wilderness” setting, kids will have an opportunity to think about their lives and be able to start shining for Christ.
- We will be taking our 3rd-5th graders to Camp Cedar Crest located in the local mountains right outside of Running Springs, CA. The trip will take around an hour and half, in fully loaded charter buses (including reclining seats, TVs, and bathrooms).
- Eastside designs our own camps, which includes planning Chapel times from start to finish, enlisting and working with the speaker regarding what kids will be learning, and organizing all other program elements: recreation, crafts, evening activities, etc.
