Being the Church, Long Beach hosts a four-week summer day camp for children entering Kindergarten to 8th Grade.
Groundlings Day Camp is a multi-generational summer ministry of the Los Altos UMC. We strive to offer every Groundling camper a sense of deep belonging in a supportive community of their peers through a whole lot of of recreation and play, creativity, and fun. Paired in “family groups” throughout the day, Groundlings campers learn about themselves and one another, and our collective faith story. O
