Christian Education Program
Children ranging from infancy through the 6th grade are invited to join our Kids’ Klub Christian Education programming. Kids’ Klub staff are carefully selected individuals who are enthusiastic about the spiritual development and safety of your children.
Childcare is provided during chapel services, seminars, and evening concerts.
Nursery
For children under 2 years of age
Be confident that your little one will be well looked after with the love and care they need by our attentive, well-trained staff. Our Nursery Building has a playroom, a quiet room, and a screened porch.
Upon check-in at the Front Desk, complete the nursery and preschool information to hand to the Front Desk staff.
Preschool
Ages 2 - 5
Preschool is when Kids’ Klub programming really begins. Your child will come back from the class having learned carefully chosen songs designed to hide God’s Word in their heart. Bible lessons and crafts are also taught at an age-appropriate level preparing them for the years to come. Each age has its own classroom in the Preschool Building.

Elementary
Kindergarten - 4th Grade
Kids dive even deeper into the Bible during these developmental years. An emphasis is placed on Scripture memorization and children are taught impactful lessons by qualified Kids’ Klub teachers, many of which are education majors during the college school year. Each grade has their own classroom in the Jelinek Center.
Klub 56
5th - 6th Grade
New for Summer 2022, Klub 56 is programming designed to bridge the gap and prepare children for the COTW Teens Program in their upcoming years. Students will meet in the Sonju Sports Complex classroom for lessons as well as gather for activities throughout the week.
“The teachers were so friendly and welcoming. My kids had a great time and learned so much!”

Meet the Kids’ Klub Director
Kim Russell has been coming to CAMP-of-the-WOODS since she was 1 month old and has been involved with Kids’ Klub for 6 years. Her husband, Gary, is on full-time staff and their daughters Carina and Sierra have been through the Kids’ Klub program.
Kim remembers being a part of the children’s program here (then called CE). “It was there that I gave my life to Jesus at 6 years old. I remember the teacher put a verse on a chalkboard and we played erase-a-word. It was Matthew 6:33 ‘But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.’ I have been seeking Him ever since. This is why I believe in the importance of Kids' Klub.”
During the non-summer months, Kim is an elementary and special needs teacher in New York City in addition to all the work she does planning and preparing for Kids’ Klub.
“My kids look forward to seeing the friends they’ve made at CAMP-of-the-WOODS year after year.”
Do you have a child with special needs?
It’s very important to us that every child who participates in Kids’ Klub is well taken care of. If you have a child with special needs, please reach out to Kim Russell to discuss what we can do to support your child. Careful consideration will be taken to place them in the appropriate grade-level class and give them individual or small group attention.
