Kids

Awana Clubs at Forest Park are designed to help our kids at Joplin and Carthage come to know, love and serve the Lord.

Summer camp is a great way for our kids to get away to a safe and secure location for relevant Bible teaching, energetic worship, and tons of fun recreation! This is an incredibly memorable and impactful week for kids 3rd-6th grade.

VBS at Forest Park is a blast! For a whole week during the summer, we teach kids about Jesus through interactive crafts, games, and much more!

Your child's safety is of utmost importance to us. Our policies and procedures make Forest Park Kids a secure place for them to learn and grow. On arrival at any one of our campuses, our friendly volunteers will help you check in your child using our secure check-in system. You will receive a security tag that must be used when you return to pick up your child. This ensures that only you and other people you have authorized have permission to take your child from our care.

For more information regarding specific procedures, contact the Forest Park Kids leader on your campus.

Being sick is no fun, but spreading it is even worse. We ask parents and guardians to commit to helping us by following these guidelines.

Please do not bring your child if he/she has the following symptoms:

• Fever (within the past 24 hours)
  • This includes fevers that are controlled with fever reducers
• Vomiting or diarrhea (within the past 24 hours)
• Rash
• Inflamed throat or mouth
• Colored discharge from eyes or nose
• Unusual irritability or fatigue

If your child develops any of these symptoms while in our care, you will be notified immediately and asked to keep your child with you for the remainder of the activity time.
