AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE!
To all the moms and dads, grandparents, teachers, aunts and uncles: JUMP is something your kids will never forget! And, once they go, they’ll never want to miss another camp. Pastors Jeff and Patsy Perry want your kids to make new friends, have one of the most fun times of their lives, and encounter God in a safe and loving environment. Next year invite all the kids you know so that no one will be left out of this amazing experience.
The Broadway-style production is written and produced at St. Louis Family Church and features all-original music and a cast of over 100 volunteers. This year’s theme was “The Life of Jesus” (Episode One in the amazing story that will unfold over the next three years)!
FAST FACTS
WHAT IS “KERCE”?
JUMP! in Kosovo = KERCE!
Did you know that we put together a JUMP! Kids Camp every year in the country of Kosovo? It’s called “Kerce!” and 2012 will be our 11th year of serving the beautiful people of this war torn region. Our JUMP! team will be traveling to Kosovo at the end of June to coordinate a JUMP! program specifically designed for the kids of Kosovo. The free camp is expected to host 1,800 kids each day and is highlighted by a huge soccer tournament. A gift of $10 will help send a Kosovo child to KERCE!

JUMP! Camp is growing fast, so in 2011 we offered a choice of TWO different weeks! This exciting four-day camp for kids in Kindergarten through 8th grade takes place from 9:30 AM until 3:30 PM, Monday through Thursday, in June. To attend JUMP camp, each child must be 5 years old by July 31. Kids have a blast at a variety of activities, including crafts, carnival games, a water park, theatrical presentations, and field games. This year’s camp theme was all about the life of Jesus.
ABOUT JUMP
It all began in the early ’90s with Pastor Jeff Perry and Pastor Patsy Perry’s vision, one hundred kids, and a Vacation Bible School called “Bible Breakout.” In 2002, it became JUMP, and today it’s a major regional event that hosts more than 3,000 kids from the St. Louis area and beyond. This four-day, fun-packed summer day camp, for grades K – 8, requires more than 1000 trained volunteers to make it happen — from group leaders, planners, musicians, and script-writers to set-builders, craft workers, game supervisors, and more.
Each year a new camp theme is selected based on a Bible story and character. Staff and volunteers then write kid-friendly music and humorous Bible-based dramas to support the theme and help the kids apply the principles to everyday life. There’s also lots of fun to be had outdoors — like cooling off at the water park, burning energy in the field games, and getting creative in the giant craft tent.
