What to Expect
Throughout the day, kids will rotate through fun stations like The Show, crafts, snacks, and games, all designed to reinforce the day's key message. Each child will be part of a small group led by a caring Team Leader who will guide them through activities and intentional faith-filled discussions, helping them connect the Bible story to their own lives. This free conference is a fantastic opportunity for your child to build friendships, deepen their understanding of God’s Word, and create lasting memories in a fun and engaging environment.

Common Questions:
Summer Blast is for children entering Kindergarten through 6th grade for the Fall 2025 school semester.
Yes; you will be given the option to request your child to be in the same group as their friends during the online registration process. For children to be in the same group, they will need to be in nearby grades. Please understand that our team will do their best to accommodate requests, but they are not guaranteed. You can also plan to meet with the parent of your child’s friend the first morning and go through the designated Check-In desk together in order for your children to be in the same group. Communicate to the Check-In team that you request your child to be in the same group.
At Summer Blast we are committed to providing a safe and comfortable environment that allows all children to access worship and ministry. Highlands Haven exists to share the love of Christ by assisting children needing special accommodations to become full participants and contributors in the body of Christ. If your child needs special accommodations during Summer Blast, several of our campuses will have Highlands Haven available. Please email the Highlands Kids team for more information.
We will begin checking children in at 7:30 AM each day. At 8:30 AM, you may then take your child to the designated seating area for his/her group and meet your child’s group leader. It is not necessary to bring your online confirmation form with you.
Childcare will not be provided before or after Summer Blast unless you are serving with us. Auditorium doors open at 8:30 AM each morning, and the program will end each day at 12:00 PM. Please be prompt when picking up your child.
T-shirts will be given out the first day of Summer Blast.
You must come pick your child up in their small group area at 12:00 PM each day. You must present your child’s claim ticket to their small group leader. You will then need to show your claim ticket AGAIN at the exit doors, so please keep your ticket with you. If you have designated someone else to pick up your child, you need to fill out proper information during online registration.
Snacks will be served each day. Lunch will not be provided. If your child has a food allergy, you will be given the option to indicate their allergy during the registration process.
Please send your child’s Epi Pen in a plastic zip top bag with their first and last name and allergen written on it to the first day of Summer Blast. Please give the Epi Pen to your child’s group leader when you drop your child off for the day. Their group leader will keep the Epi Pen with them at all times.
Please send your child’s rescue inhaler (and spacer, if needed) in a plastic zip top bag with their first and last name written on it to the first day of Summer Blast. Please give the rescue inhaler to your child’s group leader when you drop your child off for the day. Their group leader will keep the inhaler with them at all times.
We want to support your family with excellence at Summer Blast and want you to help us decide what your child can safely eat. During registration, you will be given the option to indicate that your child has a food allergy. After completing your registration, you will receive an email two weeks prior to Summer Blast to let you know what snacks will be served each day. This email will also contain instructions on how to send approved snacks to Summer Blast with your child if needed.
Thank you for understanding that we will not be able to administer any over the counter or prescription medications during Summer Blast, except in the case of an Epi Pen or a rescue inhaler because these are lifesaving medications.
Our team would love for you to serve the conference. We ask that you be an active member/attendee of Church of the Highlands and have a current Background Check on file with us. During the registration process, you may be asked to complete a consent form and provide a copy of your photo ID if we do not already have one for you. After registration and approval, you will be given any necessary training and information for serving.
Students entering 9th grade and up can serve at Summer Blast. Your student must be 16 years or older in order to lead a small group. Students who currently serve as a JV Dream Team Leader will be required to serve with their parent.
Interested in Serving?
We would love for you to join us as a leader on the Summer Blast Dream Team. Adults, High School students, and Middle School students can serve during Summer Blast. Students under 16 years of age must serve alongside a parent or guardian. Registration for Dream Team is now open and will close on June 13th.
