Blue Grass Christian Camp Not attending fair
On Site Day Camp @ Blue Grass: 7463 Ashes Boonesboro Road, Lexington, KY 40509
Cost: Lexington Day Camp: $250
On Site Day Camp @ Blue Grass: $275
We also offer our Power Kids Day Camp located on our own property just outside of Lexington. It's just a short drive out Athens-Boonesboro Road on the Fayette Co. / Clark Co. border. Geared for ages 5 to 9 I can think of no better way to spend one or possibly, two or three weeks of the summer.
Your kids will begin each day bright and early (arrival is between 8:30 a.m. and 9:00 a.m.) and experience a whirlwind of activities, including pool time, legendary Carpetball tournaments, and much more. Day Camp exposes younger kids to some aspects of our overnight 7/11 Camp but offers the peace of mind that comes with knowing parents will be there at the end of the day (4:00 p.m.) Day Camp also incorporates a missions element into the day where kids will be introduced ways they can help other children in our community.
On Site Day Camp @ Blue Grass/Session 1: June 16 - 21
On Site Day Camp @ Blue Grass/Session 2: June 23 - 28
On Site Day Camp @ Blue Grass/Session 3: June 30 - July 5
