Our Vision Behind One-Weeks
We believe, through immersive short-term efforts, we can train uncommon parts of our community to lean on each other and encourage collective development. The role this one-week camp plays in the Kingdom is so much bigger than an art lesson or songwriting session, but this is a great way of quickly building trust and increasing momentum.

Judah Kids is primarily operated by volunteers. Our One-Week model accepts volunteers from the host church for 2-4 hours a day from Mon - Thurs. Depending on their place in the schedule, volunteers might contribute time for the morning session, afternoon session, or help transition between the two.
In addition to the volunteer crew, a small team from the Judah Kids ASP will be on-site to offer support and take lead when helpful at any point throughout the week.
-
Every person (who can pass a background check) has at least one thing they can contribute to a week such as this, whether that be a talent for TikTok crafts, painting, drawing, sculpting, poetry, music, early childhood education, bible stories, food prepping, sound/lighting, photography/videography, or simply being present to love on these kiddos.
Each One-Week has a curriculum specifically curated to the gifts of the host church’s volunteers. There are, however, a few essentials that must be covered in every week.
Essential Topics: Bible, Board Games, Montessori Stations, Free Play
-
Breakfast and Lunch are provided by the Whitfield County Summer Nutrition Program, but we could use a couple volunteers to prepare healthy snacks such as carrot sticks and humus or pretzels. They will be made aware of any allergies prior to the start of camp.
A main concentration of Judah Kids is sustainability.
We teach kids how to take advantage of the resources placed in front of them. We encourage our host churches to offer up volunteers that can give access for older students to learn A/V and tech equipment.
Ideally, the host church provides studio recording software or hardware that could be used by students with an experienced supervisor. We have equipment we can borrow from other spaces. but using the church’s equipment further immerses students into the natural life of that space.

-
Every One-Week has its own art display or performance where the students can show what they’ve learned. We encourage the church community to show up as one final way to champion these students. We cannot emphasized enough how important it is to show up, as many of these kids have working parents who are unable to do so.

Support Us Financially
Maybe you don’t feel confident working with children, or you are unavailable during this time. Financial & In-kind donations are a wonderful and necessary way to make this project possible. This One-Week camp costs us about $3,000 which covers full-day staff & interns, art/music supplies, snacks, and Expo needs.
Pray
Support Us Spiritually
The Judah Kids Project is built on a foundation of the Gospel. Everything we do leads students back to the garden, the cross, and the upper room, all 3, locations where we can meet Jesus. If the kids leave with one and only one thing, we pray that it will be knowing 1 John 4:19, “We love because He first loved us.”
Join us in our petition that the Lord will do transformative things through this week, that children who don’t know Him will meet him, and that the children who do know Him will grow deeper in their relationship with Him.
