Camp is a place where campers and teen leaders experience the best days of summer. We create a space of extreme fun, so we can come to understand God’s extreme love. Our days are filled with fast-paced fun, focused on God’s love and important character value building, and structured to make every camper feel treasured as true friendships are created.
Our high-energy camps are for campers who have completed Kindergarten and are 6 years old by August 1 of the current year through 6th grade.
These are the best days of summer!
Assembly
Each day begins in a large group setting filled with songs, celebration and shenanigans to illustrate teaching points related to our camp theme
Games
Campers participate in a wide range of team building challenges and high-energy competition, as every camper has to contribute for total team success
Teaching

Frequently Asked Questions
Can my child attend more than one week of camp?
In order for more children to be able to participate in KOV, children can only attend one week.
Can my younger child be placed on the same time with their teen leader brother or sister?
Campers cannot be placed with teen leaders, except for medical reasons.
Can my child be on the same team with his sibling and a friend?
Friend request needs to be a mutual request. Due to the size of our camp we cannot honor more than one friend request per camper.
My youngest who is 5, but will be 6 on August 31, and will be entering Kindergarten this year… can they attend KOV this year?
All children must have completed Kindergarten and be 6 years old by August 1 of the current year.
Where are the field trips and how are campers transported?
- All campers and their leaders will go bowling either on Monday or Tuesday afternoon at Crestwood Bowl. Campers along with their teen leaders walk across East Watson Road and cut through to Crestwood Bowl.
- Only 5th and 6th graders along with some of the teen leaders will go swimming on Thursday afternoons. Swimming is at Watson Trails Pool. School buses are rented to transport campers going to and from swimming.
Do campers need to bring lunch or wear specific clothing?
- Campers should bring a sack lunch, no microwaveable lunches. Drinks will be provided.
- Campers must wear socks, tennis shoes and their team shirt daily.
we love team leaders
Our teen leaders provide the life and energy of each camp day. Your child will be encouraged, loved, and cheered through every camp activity. KOV’s large staff of adult volunteers and teen leaders work seamlessly together in a multi-generational way to provide care, leadership and encouragement to each and every camper.
Middle school students learn leadership skills while serving as assistant leaders to their high school mentors. College students give guidance, encouragement and support to our incredible teen leaders.
