Note Kids might get a little messy. Be sure to send them in play clothes and safe shoes.

This year we will be dividing our youth into three different age groups: K-2nd grade, 3rd-5th grade, and 6th-8th grade. (There is a stipend for leader positions.)

  • A leader is someone who oversees a specific age group and helps plan, with the overall summer team, the daily activities (which include the cultivating of our Garden of Hope, life skills, crafts, and games).
  • A helper (must be at least a high schooler) is there to assist the leader in all activities and to help provide a safe, caring environment for all participants.

If you are interested in leading or helping with one of the groups or if you would like more information, please contact Ginger at gtrautman@zionmiddletown.org.
