WHAT ABOUT KIDS CAMP?

Hey Parents & Campers,

We wanted to let you know that we have decided not to run our Cornerstone Kids Camps this summer. We know that many of you have been looking forward to returning! It was such a blast last year! Please know how much we LOVE camp too! We place a high value on offering quality programs that you can rely on.

Last year we had really great camp leaders, and a fantastic staff team who poured into them so that they, in turn, could serve your children with kindness, care and enthusiasm! Looking ahead to this summer, we are struggling to ensure we will have the same leadership structure in place. In light of this, we’ve decided that it’s wise to put Kids Camp on hold and come back in 2025 with the same standard of excellence that you’ve come to expect from Cornerstone and our programs.

While this might be sad to hear, we’re hoping that given enough notice, you’ll be able to find other camp options that will suit your family. Knowing early is better than too late.

We will still be running our Culinary, Baking and Engineering camps for older children in grades 6-8. You can find all the info on this page.

Join the Team

We always need staff for camp. Whether you like to lead or work behind the scenes, we likely have a position you’ll love! Staff must be over the age of 16. Apply today!
