What to Expect for Campers

This outrageous camp is fun-filled with paintball, bubble foam cannons, archery, hockey, basketball, GaGa ball, 28’ water slides, arts and crafts, skits, a live band, and so much more!

Imagine the energy of kids and their leaders all gathered in one place at one time with one goal in mind. That’s the experience at KidsFest Club. Each weekday KidsFest begins and ends with all the teams together with lights, sound, and stage in the Worship Center! Club starts off with a high-energy, rockin’ time led by the KidsFest Band followed by a ridiculously fun and interactive skit with comical characters that take kids on a week-long journey to learn a biblical principle.

Camper check-in begins at 9:50 am with KidsFest Club beginning promptly at 10:00 am. From there, campers will experience a full day of games, team time, and outdoor activities. Campers will wrap up each weekday with another rockin’ KidsFest Club ending with camper pick-up at 3:30 pm.

KidsFest FAQs

Registration

  • Lyndsay Garrighan at lgarrighan@orchardhillchurch.com or (724) 935-7622

  • Because of high demand, we ask that families only register for one week, to allow others the chance to participate.

  • Yes! Please make sure to mark who you want your child on a team with on the registration form.

    • Fifth and Sixth Grade Boys

    • Fifth and Sixth Grade Girls

    Every effort is made to honor the friend request on your child’s registration form.

    My child is in a different age group and or gender than their friend. Can they be on the same team? For the best experience, children must be on the team corresponding to their grade and gender.

  • No. Please let Lyndsay know if your child cannot attend. The person who wants your child's spot will still have to register online and fill out all the information on their own form.

  • There is a 50% non-refundable fee for cancellations after June 1.

  • Please call and ask for Lyndsay Garrighan to change your child’s week. We cannot guarantee that there will be room for your child during that week, or that their new friend requests will be honored.

  • You will receive a Welcome Packet via email a few weeks before camp begins. The Welcome Packet will outline everything you need to know about KidsFest.

  • Please call or email Lyndsay Garrighan at lgarrighan@orchardhillchurch.com or (724) 935-7622

  • No, campers can only be registered for one week, whether that is a normal registration or a waitlist.

KidsFest Day

  • Parents are invited each morning for coffee beginning at 9:30 am and may check-in their child at 9:50 am. Parents are also encouraged to stay and enjoy the excitement of Club which begins at 10 am in the Worship Center! Camp ends at 3:30 pm Monday through Friday.

  • A security pass is given to the parent by the team leader during check-in. Please stop by the Welcome Center and drop off the security pass and provide the name and phone number of the authorized adult who will be picking up your child. This adult must present a photo ID to the Welcome Center in order to receive your child’s security pass which they then present to your child’s Team Leader.

  • We do provide Early Drop-off Childcare in the morning. Childcare opens at 8:30 am. The additional cost is $50 per child.

  • Campers bring their own bagged lunches and eat with their team. Each team has a picnic cooler for storing their lunches. We recommend that lunches be packed in disposable plastic bags. Condensation from water bottles causes paper bags to break. Water is available to the campers throughout the day.

  • Campers should wear their bathing suit under their KidsFest shirt to camp and bring a towel and a change of clothes. Items should be packed in a drawstring type bag. No large backpacks please! PLEASE LABEL ALL PERSONAL ITEMS INCLUDING TEAM #.

  • Camper shirts can be picked up Monday mornings in the lobby. Please arrive before 9:50 am to allow adequate pick-up time.

  • Of course! Please note: No early pick ups are granted after 2:30 pm to ensure that our daily dismissal is safe and unimpacted. All early pick ups must occur prior to 2:30 pm and require a parent to fill out an early pick up form at the Welcome Center the morning of the early dismissal.

  • KidsFest is a Christian sports camp with approximately 600 campers per week. There are moments of loud noise, bright lights, and high activity in addition to times of small groups conversation. If you feel your child may have medical conditions (physical, mental, or emotional) that could interfere with camp activities, we recommend you speaking to Lyndsay Garrighan before registering so we can best serve you and your child.

    We welcome any health coordinators, aids, or nurses to attend camp with your child. Please also reach out to Lyndsay Garrighan for further information.
