Caravan is a scouting—or kids' club—type of program for children in kindergarten through fifth grade. We typically meet once a week on Wednesday evenings (6:30pm-7:30pm) throughout the school year. Caravan uses an active, hands-on learning approach to help children grow physically, socially, mentally, and spiritually. Caravan focuses on teaching everyday skills with a distinctly Christian focus. Children become members of one of the three major group based on their age: Searchers, Explorers, or Adventurers. Each group is under the direction of one or more adult guides. Throughout the year, kids can earn badges for various achievements. The awarding of badges is a fun, but optional, part of the program.
