Your Adventure Guide
Day in the Life!
Each camp begins with devotion and warm-ups, followed by sports drills, scrimmages, and teamwork challenges. Coaches encourage perseverance, positivity, and Christ-like sportsmanship. The rest of the camp keeps the energy high with team games, challenges, and opportunities to show off new skills. On Friday, we’ll finish the week with a skills showcase in the form of a scrimmage, where parents can see just how much their camper has grown!

Day in the Life!
Join us this summer for a series of fun and engaging academic mini camps designed to spark creativity, build skills, and inspire a love of learning! We believe that God has uniquely designed each of our minds to learn and grow in different ways. These mini camps provide students the opportunity to use their God-given curiosity and creativity to explore the amazing world He has made. Each camp runs for 1–2 hours depending on grade level, making them the perfect way to stay sharp over the summer and start the 26–27 school year off confidently. Students can discover a variety of subjects throughout the summer, such as math, creative writing, book clubs, STEM, and more. Whether your student wants to sharpen academic skills or explore new interests, these mini camps offer a supportive and energizing environment where every learner can grow in the unique way God designed them to.

Academic Coordinator – Sarah White:
During my 15 years of teaching, I have taught every grade from kindergarten-8th, whether it was as a homeroom teacher teaching all subjects, to math in the middle school, to Compass and reading for elementary. I am passionate about helping students love learning and discover ways to learn that meet their needs. I’m a born and raised Midwestern girl who has fallen in love with all things Texas. In my free time, I love puzzles of all kinds! From escape rooms to jigsaw puzzles, piecing together clues to solve a mystery is something I love to do. I also enjoy crocheting and other crafts.
