Help Your Kids & Leaders Connect Deeper

An all-new day designed just for your kids and kids ministry leaders!

Why should youth ministry have all of the great events? No longer! Introducing Discovery Day: six-hours of intentional, inventive, adventure together with your kids that will impact your entire year of ministry! We take care of the details so you and your leaders can focus on building deeper relationships with your kids. It is all of the power of camp in a day without the sleepless nights or homesick little ones.

Your adult leaders will guide your 2nd-5th graders through a combination of high-energy session, small group activities, and large group games. Our theme “I Am Yours” will center on our key verse of the day, Ephesians 2:10. Your kids will have a blast and your leaders will build trust and memories as you laugh and learn together.

OUR 2018 THEME: I AM YOURS

Everything points to one thing: our key verse for the day!

For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

Ephesians 2:10 NLT

Beyond the fun and incredible time to build lasting memories with your kids ministry we have designed the entire day so that your kids can walk away with a clear understanding of our big idea “I Am Yours” from our key verse Ephesians 2:10. In our large room times this will be communicated through song, games, short lessons and videos. It will be engaging, educational, and all about Jesus.

Please feel free to download, share, and use this video for your kids ministry!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What are the target ages / grades for Discovery Day?

We have designed Discovery Day for kids in grades 2-5. If you group would like to include 6th graders you may do so at your discretion.

How many leaders do I need to bring? Do they all need to be adults?

Each group must bring 1 leader for every 8 kids that attend. Student leaders (under the age of 18) will count towards this ratio but each group must have 1 adult leader (over the age of 18) for every 16 kids that attend.

If you have fewer than 8 kids, no problem! You are still welcome to attend, even a single child, but there must be an adult leader in attendance with them.

How do I register? Can I add registrations later?

You can register your group online through our registration form or by call our office at 603-774-6344. Additional registrations may be added as we still have space at the event. Registration fees are determined by your initial group registration.

A $15/person deposit is due within 7 days of your registration. Your group’s final balance, along with your final number, is due 10 days prior to the event.

Are registrations refundable? Can I transfer a registration from one kid/leader to another?

Tickets are refundable up until 30 days prior to the event. After April 19, all cancelled registrations are non-refundable. Registrations may be transferred within your group, but this must be done directly through our office.

What is the content for the day? What will our kids be learning?

The day’s teaching will all be centered around our theme “I Am Yours” and one key verse in Scripture, Ephesians 2:10. This will be taught and reinforced in all of the main sessions through a combination of short teaching blocks, interactive games and trivia, video elements, and more.

What are small groups? What is the plan for that time?

We believe the best person to discuss and process the content of the day with your kids is YOU! We have built in short windows of time for you and your leaders to breakout into circles with your kids. We will provide 1 or 2 big idea questions to help you maximize these times.

What should we wear?

We encourage kids and leaders come dressed to be active as our group games will be in a gymnasium environment. Please wear sneakers. No open-toed shoes.

Is lunch provided?

Yes! Lunch is included as part of your registration. Any dietary restrictions can be noted on registration forms for individuals.

What information is required for each individual registering?

We will need basic contact information for each attendee and parent/guardian contact information for each child. Information and instructions on registering your kids and leaders will be sent to you after registration.
