St. Paul’s United Church

Children & Youth Programs

"Our Mission is to celebrate all people as children of God, believing that diversity should be met with respect and love. We seek to provide our children, youth and young adults with a meaningful spiritual foundation to guide them as they grow and mature in their lifelong faith journeys.

Discovery Kids

Discovery Kids is a Sunday gathering for children aged 3 to 10. It is a time for the children to gather together and enlighten their young minds to the values of our Christian tradition. We join in song, play, story, crafts, games, and more. All children are welcome.   

Fall 2023> Discovery Kids has started back with gatherings every Sunday morning. The children start in the sanctuary and join us for the first ten minutes of our worship service, then head up out to be part of a special program designed for them. To register or if you have any questions please contact Rebecca through the office 705-526-6077 

We would love to see you! 

Camp Awesome

Every summer, we have Camp Awesome, here at the church.  There are lots of activities including stories, games, music, snacks and great fun.  More pictures on the Gallery page. 

One grandparent’s comment “What a wonderful week they had with the U of T students as we could certainly tell by their shouts of laughter, beaming smiles of pride with crafts produced and the friendships they made.” 

Make it a summer tradition! watch for the 2024 sign up next Spring.

Youth Group

Our Youth Group is a chance for the teens and tweens in our congregation to meet. We plan special events like community outings, activism, leadership activities, and more. We invite our youth to explore our community and world from the perspective of Jesus’ values and to search, question and join in discussions. We offer Junior (grades 6-8) and Senior grades 9-12) Youth Groups!

Camp Simpresca:
This is for children ages 6 to 16 and programs run throughout the summer. Enjoy a variety of summer activities right here in Midland on Georgian Bay! There are three-and six-night camps available.
