Charity Walker-Rodenbarger Youth and Education Coordinator

“Working at the Kroc Center is like being with family—a little bit of crazy, a little bit of loud and a whole lot of love and support!”

Recently retired from a 30-year teaching career, Charity joined the Kroc Center’s Education team as the Youth and Education Coordinator. For the last 15 years of her career, Charity spent her time teaching technology skills to K-6th graders. Now, Charity focuses her time at the Kroc Center planning and implementing educational programming for Camp Kroc and our after-school program Club Kroc.

Isaac Cruz-Vital Kroc Education Assistant and Spanish Liaison

“The favorite part of my job is being able
to interact with kids daily while building positive and long lasting relationships

with them.”

The Kroc Center wouldn’t feel like home without Isaac Cruz-Vital, our Education Assistant. When he is not playing dodge ball or encouraging young men to be better, Isaac works as a Finance and Real Estate Intern at Union Pacific. He currently attends the University of Nebraska at Omaha through the Susan Buffet scholarship.

“…To inspire people to develop their God given talents through artistic, educational, physical and spiritual experiences…” we provide campers a way to grow in mind, body and spirit.

Our camp program is rated 5 (on a scale of 1-5; with 5 being highest) in excellence for our combination of education and activities in comparison to 15 other Greater Omaha summer camps. Camp Kroc truly is a great place for curious and active kids. Campers love being with their friends and having a blast; parents love that their kids are safe and still learning during summer-time fun.

Our camp program focuses on 3 developmental components: Stay Sharp School Skills, Experiential Learning, and Physical Health and Safety. On average, you can expect your camper’s weeks to include the following focus areas:

Stay Sharp School Skills

• STEM challenges and programs

• Reading and mathematical maintenance

• Situational problem solving

• Computer skills

Experiential Learning

• Hands-on learning

• Values and positive socialization

• Diversity, inclusion and collaboration

• Guest speakers and interactive programs

Physical Health and Safety

• Swimming Safety course

• Fitness as active play

• Introduction to Exercise (Ages 11-13)

This summer we offer one week of V.B.S. (Vacation Bible School) programming: Week 6 which runs from 9 am – Noon. V.B.S. is free. Want to stick around for Camp Kroc fun in the afternoon? It's $67.50 per child for Kroc members and $80.00 per child for non-members.

You can sign up for 1 week or the WHOLE SUMMER! Each week is a fun theme and you can plan on your children bringing home crafts, projects and games that reflect the weekly theme. We know summer is a busy time for families with vacations, camping and sports. We can work around your schedule with pre-planning to ensure your child is able to be picked up at a certain time.

V.B.S. Combo Week

June 29 - July 3

During this extra special week of
Camp Kroc, campers will enjoy Vacation Bible School "FOCUS" activities each day from 9 - Noon, then Mad Science fun in the afternoon if you've registered for Week 6 of Camp Kroc!

*Scholarships may not be applied
to VBS Week.

We like to be noticed, to hear our names called out, to be celebrated for wins and held close after losses. We all want to feel that sigh of satisfaction that says, "Yes, I matter." This craving comes from God. From the moment we were created, we were seen by our Creator (Psalm 139) and He sees every step we take (Proverbs 5:21). Everybody matters in His eyes! As the Youth Ministries Specialist, my desire is that every young person who enters the Kroc has the chance to experience this love and acceptance.

I am excited to be a part of Camp Kroc this year! I will be teaching a "Kid Connect" interactive time in which campers will be taught a faith-inspired lesson and be challenged to apply this truth to their daily lives.

During Week 6, we will "Take a Closer Look" at God's Love through the FOCUS VBS program in the morning. If your child wants to attend VBS, but not Day Camp, you may register them separately by contacting me at: Lori.Miles@usc.salvationarmy.org or 402.905.3522. The morning programming is no cost for those not enrolled in day camp.

My door is open for any youth or parent that may need a listening ear or spiritual guidance.
