| Join us at KidsGames in West Michigan this Summer! |
| KidsGames is a faith-based movement
using experiential games, sports and creative giftedness to teach children (entering 1-6 grades) character through Biblical principles, wellness
education & prevention, and the next generation of youth leadership.
The Vision is: :: Community Transformation :: Leadership Development :: Wellness Education & Prevention :: Diversity Advancement :: Partnership through a holistic approach Each 3-hour unit includes the following stations that the kids rotate to: :: Experiential Games :: Drama :: Experiential Wellness Games :: Small Group Discovery Time :: Tracks or Clinic The program is inclusive of everyone! Additionally, each location will engage in a community service project of serving with their hands & feet. Also compete globally in the 12x10 World Relay Championship against other KidsGames cities around the world. Our community focus in Grand Rapids is childhood obesity. Our city-wide closing celebration will be at the West Michigan Whitecaps game in July. All participants & volunteers get in free.
