At Trinity we are Orange! The colour yellow represents Jesus as the Light of the World. Red represents the heart of the home – family! Mix em’ together and you get Orange! We use Orange because it helps us work better together with your family to fuel wonder in kids ages 3 – 5 and discovery for kids in Kindergarten through Grade 5.
We’re a church and we talk about Jesus. We believe that connecting kids to a growing relationship with Jesus builds the foundation for a strong future.

Registrations and payments are processed online and can be completed through the Summer Stuff website.
Registrations fill up quickly and we cannot guarantee that your child has been accepted until payment has been processed. Once your child’s registration has been received, you will be notified within a couple of days should there be any problems. In the event you cancel, an administration fee of $35.00 will be applied for each child. Refunds will not be issued for any cancellations 10 days or less prior to the start of Summer Stuff, except in the case of illness with a written doctors note submitted to summerstuff@trinitykelowna.ca
Pre or post camp care is not available. Team meetings with our student leaders and volunteers prior to the start of camp, and debrief opportunities at the end of each day, help our team create the best experience possible for all kids attending Summer Stuff.
Littles have a snack break and we provide the snack!
K – Grade 5 have a lunch time and two snack times and we provide the first snack. Lunch time and breaks will take place with their assigned small group and in their assigned area. In your child’s small group area, they’ll have a space that is just for them where they can leave their backpack and other personal belongings.
If your child will require more food during snack times, you are welcome to send extra (nut free) food with them. We maintain a nut-free environment on our campus. We ask that families with special dietary needs provide their own snacks and meals for the protection of their children.
We are finalizing details on this right now! When it is complete, we’ll update here!
Yes! There will be off-site experiences to some of the best places for kids to have fun! Off-site experiences are designed to create space to connect with their group as well as leaders! We’ll finalize these details and update this space soon. If applicable, an additional form for any sort of off-site activity will be provided.
Littles will have one off-site experience.
K – Grade 5 will have four to five off-site experiences.
Trinity Kids trusts children to be respectful towards others, staff, equipment, and facilities. If there are issues, parents will be notified and conversations will take place together with the parent and child.
We do our best to keep an eye on all situations, but if you hear something of concern, please contact a Trinity Kids staff member.
If your child will be absent or late, please notify the Summer Stuff team by texting 778-767-2676 (this is a text only number).
Parents will be notified if the Trinity Kids team feels it is necessary for the child to be picked up early due to illness or injury. We have staff who are CPR and First Aid certified. In the event of a more significant injury or illness, Trinity Kids staff will contact the parent or emergency contact as well as medical services.
Sign-in and out will be done outside with children being welcomed into the building by the Summer Stuff team! Allowing parents to stay outside makes the process of leaving a parent a bit easier and allows connections to happen quickly. If things don’t settle within the first fifteen minutes, we’ll definitely contact you.
At check-in, your child will be given a name label with a unique security number. You will receive a tag with the matching security number which will be required when you pick up your child.
Yes! If you are authorizing another individual to pick up your child, you will need to send them a photo of your security tag for us to release your child into their care.
We cannot wait to be together with your children! To help us work together, here are the beginning of our rules:
- Stay together in your group. Kids are not allowed to change groups or wander around the campus alone. They need to remain in their assigned group and follow their leader!
- Respect for people – such as your leaders, fellow Summer Stuff-ers, Trinity Kids staff and yourself.
- Respect for our facilities – such as classrooms, gymnasium, equipment, decorations, and outside spaces.
- Have FUN!

A small healthy snack will be provided each day for children in attendance. If your child will require more food during the morning, you are welcome to send a (nut free) snack with them.
