March is here, and at NHCBC that means it’s time to celebrate Camp Sunday, coming up on March 23! We’ll highlight the incredible opportunities for children and youth to experience the joy of Christian summer camps—where faith, fun, and friendships come together in a meaningful way.
From overnight camps to day camps, there are countless ways for kids to engage in a transformative summer experience. Whether they’re looking to serve the community, explore nature, grow in faith, or simply have fun, there’s a camp out there for everyone!

Need Financial Assistance? We believe every child should have the chance to experience camp, regardless of financial circumstances. If your family needs assistance, please reach out to Christine O’Neil—help is available!
Looking Ahead: If summer camp isn’t your thing, there are still plenty of ways to engage! Our Sunday School program is always open to new faces! We offer engaging, faith-filled learning opportunities for all ages. Come sit, listen, and participate whenever you feel ready.
We can’t wait to see what this summer holds, and we hope you’ll take time this March to consider the life-changing impact of Christian camps. If you have any questions about Christian Education at NHCBC, please reach out to a CE Board member—we’re happy to help!
