IBC KIDS
We’re here to support your family’s spiritual growth.
In IBC Kids, we know every family is different. What works for one may not be the best fit for another. That’s why we believe in offering a full range of exciting opportunities for kids and families to choose from.
Below is a listing of what you can experience on a weekly basis. At the bottom of the page is a list of current IBC Kids Events.
If you have any questions for us, please reach out and let us know and we’ll answer them as best we can.

Girls In Action
Girls Grades 1 – 6
As GAs meet and learn together, they “travel” to various places around the world learning about the work of missionaries, praying for others, learning what the Bible says about missions and serving others, and learning what they can do in their own communities to serve and share Jesus with others.
GA materials are designed to help both younger and older girls have missions experiences that lay a foundation for coming to faith in Christ as Savior and make missions an important part of their daily lives.
Live Lessons are currently available online!
When: Wednesdays at 12pm
Where: Live in the IBC GA’s Facebook Group!
Royal Ambassadors

RA materials are designed to help younger and older boys have missions experiences that lay foundation for coming to faith in Christ as Savior and make missions an important part of their daily lives.

Kid’s Camp
Grades 3 – 6
Children’s Camp at Forest Home is specifically designed for students 3rd-6th grade. This is a safe place where kids will learn about their great God through age-appropriate teaching, engaging worship, and time outdoors in His creation. It’s an opportunity to meet new friends and learn about how we are designed for Christ-centered community, while staying away from home maybe even for the very first time.
Some hallmarks of camp at Forest Home are the outrageously fun skits, games and activities. Campers will face challenges through a variety of recreation options and skills classes. In the Summer, swimming, archery, ropes courses, and hiking are just a few of the options available. In the Winter, kids can tube sled in the snow (weather permitting), play gaga ball, rock climbing, archery, learn to shoot air rifles, and go on nature hikes.
Forest Home staff members are experts in coming alongside our IBC Kids Team to nurture kids’ spiritual growth and foster a new sense of independence in our campers.
We regret to notify everyone that Children’s Camp for this summer has been cancelled as Forest Home has decided to stay closed through at least August. However, we have already booked for winter camp in January as well as Summer Camp for next summer!
