Blizzard Snow Camp

Blizzard Snow Camp is a weekend camp experience for children and is organized by EFC in partnership with several other churches in Snohomish County. This weekend provides an opportunity for children to make new friends as they play in the snow, live with their roommates, and rehearse for a team skit in the talent show. This camp provides growing and learning through our specially planned God Meetings and team times. Music and drama teaching presents the Bible in a creative way during the God Meetings. Then leaders teach and discuss spiritual matters in a kid-sized way with their team. Blizzard is a place where every child enjoys a snow adventure every afternoon. Snowmobiles, tubing, snowball fights, and games and activities inside the warm lodge await every child. Every child is encouraged to invite a friend to camp – no previous camp or church experience needed!

Dear Parents,

I have partnered with parents for more than 17 years in the task of raising children to love and follow Jesus Christ. It is a honor to be entrusted with this responsibility and joy to watch children discover their perfect heavenly Father. There is nothing more effective in teaching children the truths of Scripture than a camp experience. For more than ten years I have worked to organize Blizzard Winter Camp for elementary age children. An incredible staff has risen up to make this camp the best weekend of your child’s year! Our trained Blizzard staff comes from several local churches in Snohomish County who place the well-being and spiritual formation of children as their highest priority. No matter your child’s church background or spiritual experience they will feel comfortable and taught in an age-appropriate way. Your child will return from camp challenged to practice the Scriptural truths he or she learned. You will have a copy of the teaching materials. While your child is at camp you can be assured that their safety is our highest priority. We have a trained and experienced staff who know how to guide behavior and comfort kids when they feel homesick. Your child and entire family will be blessed by Blizzard! Please contact me if you have further questions. Pastor Mike
