KiDs Beach Club meets in both of our Devils Lake community elementary public schools. River of Life is the partnering church for Sweetwater Elementary. 

We meet on Wednesdays from 3:30-4:45 PM for kids in 2nd-4th grade. A group of trained volunteers is there to lead the program.
Five Elements of a Beach Club:

1. Connection Time - As kids make the transition from school into club, they enjoy a snack, fun activity or object lesson and get ready for club. During this time attendance is taken.
   
   
2. Worship Time - Kids are led in worship where they can move to the music. After sitting all day in school, moving to the music is a welcomed thing!
   
   
3. Memory Link Time - Each week kids are given bible memorization cards. Fun activities are included to help them learn and memorize these verses each week. As they come and say their verses they are rewarded with sweet treats. 
   
   
4. Bible Connection Time - At this point, kids are sitting and listening to a bible story told through drama, story telling or role play. Making the bible come alive and relevant to their life is the key. 
   
   
5. Make It Stick Time - Fun active games are played to review the lesson. Most kids come simply to play our games. What they end up finding is acceptance, love and a place to belong!

Our Philosophy
Beach Clubs are high energy, fun filled "kid centered" clubs that meet after school for one hour one day a week for 24 weeks. Beach Clubs incorporate the truth of scripture every time they meet. This allows the character words taught in all elementary schools to be reinforced through the teaching of scripture.
