FOOD ALLERGIES/SENSITIVITIES - While at the Conference, we strive to see every person and provide reasonable accommodations to food sensitivities, but it is impossible to meet all food sensitivity needs. We understand and respect that many individuals have food sensitivities and dietary preferences. While we do our best to offer a variety of options, we may not always be able to make specific accommodations. We appreciate your understanding and encourage anyone with food allergies to seek options that will keep you safe and comfortable.

Kid's Camp - FREE
REGISTRATION REQUIRED BY MAY 16, 2026
We are excited to offer a Kids’ Camp for potty-trained 3-year olds through 5th graders. Stephanie Riebe, the Children and Family Pastor at Wabash First UMC, designed our All IN Kids’ Camp, where kids will experience camp sessions based on growing in Christ through a fun Olympics theme. They will be playing and experiencing worship, crafting, and enjoying summer together throughout our sessions that will also point us towards how we can be ALL IN living out Christ's love. [We’re offering a counselor in training option (to help with camp) for those 6-7th graders. These students will participate in a training session via Zoom before Kids Camp.]
