Summer Camp & VBS

The Youth Mission Trip is a home run. So is camp! It's not just for younger kids. Participate as a camper for a week, or if you're 17+, work as a counselor for the summer. Both are a GREAT experience. Check out the MANY options at our three camps HERE.

Info on the availability of Camperships will be out in a couple weeks. Check back for details.

(As an FYI, many COTS Kids and Youth are planning to attend Camp Wanake the week of June 25-30.)

Lastly (but not least!), VBS will be the week of June 19-23!

Resources About Suicide

(Keeping this up for second week - it's important.)

Orange is a resource we use heavily in the Next Gen ministries at COTS. They assembled a list of resources for middle school parents, youth leaders, youth pastors, and a list of resources for high school parents, leaders, and parents.
