Summer with First McKinney Kids

Summer is one of the best times for kids to grow in faith, build friendships, and create unforgettable memories. Our summer camps for kids offer a variety of Christ-centered experiences designed to help children learn about God while having an incredible time.

Every camp is led by trusted leaders who are passionate about helping kids grow in their faith, develop confidence, and connect with other families in our church community. Whether your child is exploring something new or returning to a favorite program, our Christian summer camps are designed to help them discover their gifts and deepen their relationship with God.

Backyard Bible Clubs

Backyard Bible Clubs are a fun and welcoming way for kids to learn about Jesus right in their own neighborhoods. This summer, families across McKinney and surrounding communities will open their homes and backyards to host small gatherings where children can enjoy Bible stories, music, crafts, games, and snacks with friends and neighbors. Each club lasts about two hours a day and is designed especially for kids with engaging, age-appropriate activities. Our hope is simple: to shine the light of Jesus in our neighborhoods and help kids experience His love in a joyful and meaningful way.

ACT1V8

Act1v8 Camp is a full-day, four-day experience designed for older kids who have completed 4th or 5th grade and are ready to grow deeper in their faith and discover how they can serve others. Throughout the week, students will explore the Bible together, learn what it means to live out their faith, and put it into action through meaningful opportunities to help others. Each day includes engaging Bible study, uplifting worship, off-site mission projects, fun field trips, and plenty of time for games with friends. Our prayer is that students will leave camp with stronger friendships, a deeper understanding of God’s Word, and a growing desire to shine His love wherever they go.
