Water Activities

All water activities are supervised by certified lifeguards and trained lookouts.

Our water features include: Splash Park, The Blob, Water Slide, Water Games, Swimming Pool and Canoes.

Creative Projects

Kids explore their creativity through hands-on projects that let their imaginations shine.

Your camper will have daily craft rotations with age-appropriate materials. They'll create a range of projects and come home with art they'll be proud and excited to show off.

Faith & Fun

Campers are able to pause, connect and think about how they relate to the world, God and others.

Each day includes a short, age-appropriate Bible story led by our trained staff. Kids explore themes like kindness, courage, and belonging through music, storytelling, and conversation.

Game Time

Camp isn’t complete without games that get everyone up and moving!

Campers stay active and have a blast playing games like gaga ball, basketball, volleyball, and more.

Snack Shop

Each afternoon, our famous Snack Shop opens for campers to grab a treat using their Camp Bucks — our cashless system.

Favorites range from ice cream and specialty drinks to candy and healthy snacks. Camp Bucks can be added when you register or anytime in your camper's session.

Nature Adventures

Campers spend time outside to explore and slow down.

With so much of life happening online, it can be hard to disconnect. Nature time encourages campers to slow down and gives them space to observe and explore the outdoors.

Team Challenges

Campers build confidence and collaboration with fun, low-pressure games and obstacle activities - no heights, climbing or rope elements.

Kids dive into fun, low-element team games and staff-led challenges that build cooperation and confidence—all with an emphasis on including everyone and trying new things.

Shaving Cream Party

Get ready for some fun!

Our LEGENDARY Shaving Cream Party is a highlight of the week! Crazy hairstyles, wacky beards, silly hats—campers let their creativity run wild in this messy, unforgettable favorite.

Camp Safety

We know that sending your child to camp is a big decision. Whichever camp session you choose, we understand you’re placing your trust in our team — and we don’t take that lightly. Learn more about medical, weather and water safety, how we hire our staff and more.

New To Youthfront Camp?

Whether you’re brand new to Youthfront or just new to our Day Camp, we want your family to feel confident, informed, and excited about camp! Here’s what you can expect before, during, and after your camper’s experience.

Welcome Packet and Pre-Camp Information

Before your session begins, you’ll receive:

A digital Welcome Packet with everything you need to know
Detailed info on drop-off/pick-up, what to pack, what to leave home, etc.
Optional add-ons like Camp Bucks or camper care packages

*Keep an eye on your inbox for camp prep emails 1–2 weeks before your session.

The Youthfront App

We use the Youthfront App to help you stay connected during the week. It’s a convenient tool that you can:

View daily photos and updates
Message camp staff if needed
Access your camper’s schedule and session info
Receive important announcements

*Only registered parents/guardians have access. It’s secure and easy to use.

What Is Cashless Camp and Camp Bucks?

We use Camp Bucks instead of cash for on-site purchases at our Snack Shop. You can preload funds during registration or add more anytime through your online camper account. At check-in, all campers will receive a wristband with a barcode associated with their name and online account. If your camper has a balance on their account at the end of the session of camp, you will have the option of either receiving a refund of the balance or donating it to Youthfront’s Camp Ministry.

As a reference on how much to put on a wristband, most campers spend between $10–$25 for the week.

What Makes Youthfront Unique?

We’ve been curating camp experiences for over 80 years! Heres what sets us apart:

A Presence-Centered Approach: We create space for reflection, connection, and growth.
A focus on whole-person formation: Body, mind, spirit, and relationship building.
Programs designed with age and developmental needs in mind.
A generous, well-trained staff culture, rooted in trust and hospitality.

*Spiritual formation opportunities are woven into the session in age-appropriate, welcoming ways — no pressure, just space to explore.

Parent Support and Family Resources

We’re here for parents, too. As part of our larger ministry, Youthfront offers:

Family blogs and parenting tools on faith, development, and connection.
As You Go: An interactive resource that shows families simple, natural ways to bring faith conversations into everyday life with their kids or grandkids. You can choose from a range of experiences from travel to the KC Zoo to gardening, all designed to help nurture faith with our children.
Presence-Centered Counseling (PCC): PCC is a Kansas City based psychotherapy practice that grew out of a desire to provide needed therapy and mental health services for youth, adults, couples and families. Lead Counselor, Jamie Roach (LPC) offers a full range of counseling services and is equipped to serve clients of all ages, backgrounds, genders and faiths.
