What’s new?  This summer Trinity Christian College is offering a wide variety of creative and sports camps – for a variety of ages.  Some of the creative camps are offered to children as young as kindergarten level. There are also creative and sports camps offerings up to grade 12. Our summer day camps give children the opportunity to explore their talents and appreciate God's creation, while having fun and learning fundamental skills.
