What are the youth programs at the Salvation army?

After School Youth Center  

This program is an afterschool program when school is in session. The goal of the program is to impact each child's life in different important areas. We have electives in music, bible education, physical education, and tutoring for students' homework. In addition, we serve dinner to those attending. We launched this program because we understand the importance of our youth and teens and that they are the future. We want to make a difference and help give the youth a hand up as they grow into adulthood.

Sunbeams, Girl Guards, Moonbeams, Boy's Adventure Corps

These are "Character Building" programs that are held on Thursday nights from 4:30-7:00 and are available to Elementary up to High school age. This program includes lessons, sports, activities, and a meal. We focus on instructing the kids on biblical truth and helping them develop character traits that will benefit them as they grow and become the next generation.

Summer Camp Hidden Falls Camp (Near Bedford Indiana)

Our summer camps are available June-July and are overnight camps at our conference center. These are week-long camps that offer activities and learning opportunities in a variety of subjects. each week of camp through the summer offers a different focus, from age-based camps to subject-specific camps such as music and sports. There's a camp for every interest! Applications are taken for these camps in April and normally fill up very quickly. There is a small fee associated with saving a spot for your child, however, scholarships are available to those in need. We want to make sure every child has a chance to experience camp!
