FIELD TRIP ITINERARY
On Thursday, July 10th, 2025, KMA will visit: Main Event
10300 Little Patuxent Pkwy Suite 2520 Columbia, MD 21044
This year’s KMA trip will be to Main Event in Columbia, Maryland! Students will enjoy a day packed with fun activities including bowling, thrilling laser tag matches, and the chance to play exciting games in the arcade. Lunch will be provided on site for all students!
Every student receives a $10 play card for the arcade—please note this amount tends to go quickly! Parents who wish their child to have additional arcade tokens should send extra spending money with their student. Please have cash sent in a labeled envelope that can be checked in the morning of the trip. KMA is not responsible for lost tokens cards or cash.
The trip is scheduled from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM, with buses departing from Kingdom Fellowship at 10:00 AM sharp. Students should be picked up promptly at 4:00 PM from Kingdom Fellowship. Please be reminded there will be no aftercare available on the day of the field trip.
Prior to this fun-filled trip, our talented students will be busy preparing for the much-anticipated Lion King Production premiering that Friday. We look forward to an exciting day of fun and fellowship!
RECITAL
To culminate a week-long of hard work and creativity, KMA will feature our students’ learning in a performance recital production! Students will be given the opportunity to display their talents on stage and in gallery at the Kingdom Worship Center. This event is for the entire family, in celebration of an amazing week of discovery, exploration, and the arts! We cannot wait to have you join us: Friday July 11th at 5:00pm.
LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
It is our goal to ensure that all students have an enjoyable and fulfilling experience as a participant in our program. We ask for your support in reminding students to remain with their designated Academy leaders to ensure their safety. Further, we ask that electronic devices, toys, and other personal items that may cause or become a distraction to the learning environment remain at home. If your child needs to carry a mobile phone, it must remain off and put away during the program day. Kingdom Fellowship/Kingdom Music Academy is not responsible for lost or stolen items.
Kingdom Music Academy expects all students to exhibit respectful and positive behavior at all times. We operate a three-strike policy for conduct issues, beginning with a formal warning for the first offense. The second offense will result in direct contact with the student’s parents or guardians to discuss necessary corrective action. A third offense will lead to removal from the academy program. Kingdom Music Academy is strictly a no-bully zone; bullying, discrimination, physical violence, and harassment of any kind will not be tolerated. We aim to maintain a supportive and safe environment for all students and staff.
