Join us for LC3 Kids Summer Escape 2026!

Monday, July 20 - Friday, July 24 | 6-8:15pm
at Lake City Community Church
Welcome to your 2026 Holy Land Adventure —where the Bible comes to life right before your eyes! At Rome, everyone gets to explore first-hand the culture of Paul’s world. They’ll experience the heartbreaking trials, joyous victories, and tear-filled celebrations of this unique Bible hero. Families of all ages are welcome to participate.

What ages are invited to participate in Summer Escape?

Summer Escape is for kids entering Kindergarten-Grade 5 this coming Fall. Parents and siblings are invited to join their students, and children under five are invited to particpate with an accompanying adult. Kids entering K-Grade 5 are allowed to attend on their own.

Volunteer Information

Monday, July 20 - Friday, July 24 | 5 - 8:30 PM

It takes a lot of volunteers to love on kids and make Summer Escape a success every year. Dinner is served nightly to volunteers at 5pm. Students Grade 6+ and adults are invited to volunteer in a variety of ways: Group Leaders, Station Hosts, Childcare, Food, Drama, Security, Music and more!
Volunteer Training: Wednesday July 15, 6 - 8 PM | Kids Main
Finalize details about where you're volunteering, what you'll be doing, and select your costume.
Rome Set-up: Sunday, July 19, 12:30-2:30pm
Help transform our campus into Ancient Rome after the last service that weekend. Many hands make light work!
Volunteer Childcare:  Childcare is for volunteers only.  If you are a tribe leader or tribe leader assistant, your children are welcome to join you in your tribe in Rome.  All other volunteer positions, please register your child for childcare.  We will do our best to have volunteers' kids ages 3+ put into a tribe to enjoy Rome.  If you think you might need childcare even for one night please register so we are well-staffed.
