St Louis Summer Camp
Adventure Camp – Where Faith, Leadership & Nature Forge the Next Generation!
This isn’t just a summer camp—it’s a call to adventure, faith, and growth. At Agape Adventure Academy, we don’t just entertain kids—we train them to lead, think, and grow in Christ.
Through prayer, devotion, movement, STEM, and hands-on discovery, your child will develop strength, wisdom, and confidence in God’s creation.
Move. Think. Lead. Grow. The wild is calling—will your child answer?
Classroom Under the Sky:
Our camp takes learning outdoors, offering an immersive experience in nature’s classroom. Your child will explore STEM projects, engage in creative art activities, and delve into cultural studies in our open-air setting.
Weekly Field Trips – Taking Learning Beyond the Classroom!
Each week, campers will embark on an exciting field trip to bring their learning to life! These trips will take place once a week, and parents will drop off and pick up their child directly at the field trip location. All locations will be relatively close to Agape Adventure Academy and will be carefully selected to align with our themes of nature, movement, and adventure!
Exciting New Partnerships in the Works!
We are currently finalizing partnerships with local CrossFit gyms, pickleball coaches, and self-defense instructors to bring even more strength, agility, and leadership training to our campers. These experiences will empower children to move with confidence, build resilience, and develop real-world skills in a faith-centered, encouraging environment.
This summer is more than just camp—it’s an invitation to challenge, grow, and lead. Secure your child’s spot today!
