A Revolution in Summer Camping for Christ

Skylark is a powerful new ministry to empower local churches to reach more kids and young families for Christ through high quality, Christ-infused summer camps on their campus. Skylark’s vision is rooted in the fact that reaching children from birth to 12 years old is foundational for the future of the Gospel. Multiple studies show that the vast majority of Christians come to faith during these early years. George Barna says simply, “Reach a person for Christ by their 13th birthday or the chances are slim that you ever will.” We call it the Gospel Shot Clock (GSC), and the buzzer goes off on the thirteenth birthday. Young parents are also uniquely spiritually sensitive during these years - making this the perfect season of life to reach young families.

Skylark partners with local churches to provide world class all-summer day camps for elementary aged kids that are affordable, fun, and spiritually intentional. By providing working families an excellent full-time summer childcare option, Skylark enables our church partners to attract unreached kids and families in the community, love and serve them well, share the Gospel and get them connected into the church.
