Camper/Parent Info:
frequently asked questions
Throughout history, God has chosen to communicate with people using outdoor settings. Winter Camp gives kids a chance to get out of their daily routine and to invite their friends to do the same. Here, they can connect with God and with each other. So, in this “wilderness” setting, kids will have an opportunity to think about their lives and be able to start living the abundant life of Christ.
We will be taking our 3rd-5thgradersto CampCedar Crest located in the local mountains right outside of Running Springs, CA. The tripwill take around anhour 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.

This is like a school fundraiser where you go out and get “sponsor’s” (grandparents, teachers, coaches, neighbors, aunts, uncles, Etc.) to sponsor you by the hour or give you a one-time gift to help you go to camp. Then you work it off at home or around your neighborhood, church etc.
