Preschool child care and activities for children who have completed grades 1-6 will be held at the Greater Columbus Convention Center, the annual meeting site. Youth who have completed grades 7-12 will worship each morning at the convention center before going into the community for hands-on mission projects.

The theme “The World — Always on God’s Mind” is designed to challenge children to realize their place in answering the Great Commission.

“Children attending the Children in Action Missions Camp will learn that they have been on God’s mind from the beginning and are called to answer the Great Commission,” Heather Keller, camp coordinator and national Woman’s Missionary Union children’s consultant, said.

“In addition to Bible studies, children will visit with missionaries representing both the International Mission Board and the North American Mission Board,” Keller said. “Children will also participate in worship sessions, games and recreation, crafts and mission projects.”

The cost is $40 per child, in addition to a $10 non-refundable registration fee per child. No lunch, only snacks, will be provided. Parents will need to pick up their children both days at the conclusion of the morning session.

Youth on Mission

Youth on Mission will be available Tuesday and Wednesday to youth who have completed grades 7-12 by May/June 2015.

“Youth on Mission will have the opportunity to study the Bible together, hear testimonies from North American and International missionaries, and gain a greater understanding of how God can use them in His work in the world,” Suzanne Reece, national WMU student ministry consultant and Youth on Mission coordinator, said. Students will serve through hands-on missions projects in Columbus.

The cost is $55 per youth, in addition to a $10 non-refundable registration fee per youth. Lunch and snacks will be provided both days.
