Details
Dates: June 9–13, 2025, everyday from 8:00 a.m. until 12:30
Location: Dallas Theological Seminary, Campbell 203
Participants: Children Ages 7–13
Cost: Free!
Materials to Bring: A Bible and a Water Bottle for each Child
Note: Snacks will be provided each morning.
We’ll look at the life of Joseph in the Bible, while also following a modern story of two children, Sami and Rose. The kids will learn about resilience when hard things happen and how to be compassionate and help other children. There’ll be lots of activities, games, crafts, and songs that reinforce the lessons. Each child will receive a handbook to take home at the end of the week, and children will put on a program for parents at the end of our time together on Friday.
We are offering this FREE day camp in partnership with the Trauma Healing Institute. Besides the fun we plan to have, this will be a great time for our DTS kids to process and discuss the things happening in their lives. We hope your kids (ages 7–13) can join us!

PLEASE NOTE: To pick up your child after the conference, you MUST have one of the following forms of identification. Without one of these forms, we cannot, in good conscience, release your child. Please remember that although this may be an inconvenience to you, the safety of your child is important to us!
- SECURITY SLIP: This is given to you each morning when you drop off your child, and we take it back when you pick up your child.
- PICTURE ID: We will need to see a picture ID if you do not have a passport slip.
Alternative Release: If for some reason the person who drops off the child is not able to pick them up, there are two options.
- Give the passport slip to the person who will pick up the child.
- At drop off, tell a person at the registration table who will be picking up the child.
The alternative release person will need to have a picture ID. Again, we will not release your child without proper identification. Your child’s safety is important to us!
Space is Limited: We currently have space for forty-five kids due to space limitations. If you register your child after the maximum number of spots has already been filled, your child will be placed on a waiting list. The DTS Kids’ Camp director will email you if space opens up for your child to attend. Thank you for your understanding.
