Kids & Youth:

Aug 14th Update: we have only had youth between the ages of 8 to 15 register for this time so we are restricting the program to that age group that has registered so far. Please contact us directly if you have any questions.

For leaders who are bringing children or youth aged between _ and 16 years old to the leadership time we will be having a mix of summer activities. Please add each child and their age to your registration.

We encouage leaders who are needing to register youth or children, please do so as soon as possible so we can make sure we have adequate care and activities for the age groups attending. If you have a specific questions, please email office@oceansidechurch.ca.

Kids and youth will be hosted off-site at our church office building (eight-minutes drive from the venue) for the Thursday & Friday sessions.
