Camp Wartburg’s Day Camp is a great option for all families with children aged kindergarten to eighth grade who want their child(ren) to have a summer centered around the Bible, nature, fun and adventure. The day starts bright and early with drop-off being from 7:00 – 9:00 am and then ends right after families get off work with pick-up from 4 – 5:30 pm. Throughout the day, children will be doing various activities and will be served breakfast, lunch and snack.
