What is Kids' Night Out? | Once a month (generally September-May) our high school ministry students host a Kids' Night Out for children 4 years old-4th grade. It's a night of games, crafts, movies, popcorn, video games and more at our church from 6-10PM. The children have a blast as the parents are able to enjoy an evening to themselves! :)
Is it free? | Since this is a fundraiser for our high school students, we are charging $21 a child for the entire evening! (that's four hours of childcare & planned activities for just $21 a kid! $20 plus a $1 online handling fee) The proceeds will be given directly to our high school mission trip. Our high school students and leaders host this event as a service to our community as well as to raise funds for their summer mission trip to Logan, West Virginia.
Who is watching my child(ren)? | Most of the staff are high school students, that are overseen by 3-5 adults. There is always a CPR/First Aid certified person on the premise and all adults over 18 have passed a background check.
Due to our new system- we will NOT be issuing refunds for any cancelled registrations for this month. So please make sure you can attend before registering!
