Camp 54

October 17-18, 2026 | Forest Home Ojai Valley

What is Camp 54?

Camp 54 is an overnight camp experience created just for our current 4th and 5th graders! It’s a chance for kids to get away, have a ton of fun with friends, grow in their faith, and experience overnight camp before participating in the longer camps offered through our Middle School and High School Ministries.

From worship and time in God’s Word to games, small groups, and plenty of camp fun, Camp 54 is packed with opportunities for kids to connect and make memories! Along the way, they’ll strengthen friendships, spend time with their Calvary Kids leaders, and grow in their relationship with God.

Our hope is that kids come home from Camp 54 with great memories, stronger friendships, and a deeper connection with God—and excitement for all that’s ahead in Calvary Student Ministries!

SAFETY AT CAMP

The safety of every child is a top priority for Calvary Kids. Camp 54 leaders complete Calvary’s volunteer screening and training requirements, including references, fingerprinting, and background checks. Camp counselors also receive additional training specific to camp and our safety procedures.

Medical support will be available throughout Camp 54. Detailed information regarding medications, packing, and other important camp procedures will be provided to registered families prior to camp.

WHAT TO BRING

A complete packing list and additional information to help your child prepare for Camp 54 will be sent to registered families before camp.

Help your child unplug for the weekend by leaving all technology at home! Camp 54 is designed to give kids a distraction-free opportunity to have fun, build friendships, connect with their leaders, and spend time with God.

READY FOR CAMP 54?

We can’t wait to head to Forest Home with our 4th and 5th graders! Camp 54 will be a special weekend filled with meaningful moments, new experiences, and plenty of time to connect with friends and grow closer to God.

We’d love for your child to join us!  REGISTER HERE

Day 1: Pray That They Will Know Jesus

Scripture to Read

“Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.” John 17:3

Things to Remember

  1. Your greatest hope for your child is not simply that they are successful, safe, happy, or well behaved. It is that they know Jesus.
  2. You can teach them about God, bring them to church, and model faith for them, but only God can transform their heart.


Prayers to Pray

  1. Jesus, help them know You. Open their eyes to see who You are and draw them into a genuine relationship with You.
  2. Jesus, help them love You. May their faith become more than knowledge, tradition, or something inherited from our family.
  3. Jesus, help them follow You. Give them a lifelong desire to trust You, obey You, and walk with You.
