Get ready for the BEST summer ever at Grace Covenant Baptist Academy Summer Camp—where every day is filled with excitement, discovery, and unforgettable memories your child will cherish for years to come! Designed especially for children in Grades K through 5, our 10-week summer program provides the perfect balance of fun, structure, friendship, and meaningful growth in a safe and encouraging environment.
From the moment your child arrives each morning between 7:30–8:30 AM until pick-up at 5:30 PM, they will be fully engaged in a carefully planned schedule of activities designed to keep them active, entertained, and learning throughout the day. This is far more than just childcare—it’s a vibrant, high-energy summer experience where kids can explore, create, and thrive.
Every week is packed with exciting opportunities and new adventures! Campers will enjoy refreshing swimming days to beat the summer heat, along with fun-filled field trips that take learning and excitement beyond the classroom. On-site, children will participate in a wide range of engaging activities including team games, music, creative arts and crafts, outdoor play, group challenges, and themed activity days that keep things fresh and fun. Special highlights throughout the summer include eating out at local restaurants, movie days, and surprise events that campers look forward to each week. Whether it’s a water day, a themed dress-up day, or a friendly competition, there is always something exciting just around the corner.
In addition to all the excitement, we make sure your child is well cared for throughout the day by providing a morning and afternoon snack, helping to keep their energy up and their smiles bright. Most importantly, each week includes intentional Bible teaching and learning, offering children the opportunity to grow spiritually, develop strong character, and gain a deeper understanding of God’s Word in a fun, age-appropriate, and engaging way. Through lessons, memory verses, and practical application, campers will be encouraged to live out their faith in everyday life.
At Grace Covenant Baptist Academy, we believe summer should be a time of both joy and growth. Our experienced and caring staff are dedicated to creating a positive, uplifting environment where every child feels welcomed, valued, and encouraged. Campers will build lasting friendships, develop teamwork skills, and gain confidence as they participate in both structured and free-play activities. Many of our campers return year after year because of the relationships and memories they form during this special time.
The program runs Monday through Friday for 10 exciting weeks, giving families reliable, consistent care throughout the entire summer season. All of this is offered at an incredible value of just $150.00 per week per child, with a 10-week commitment that ensures your child gets the full experience and doesn’t miss a single moment of the fun and connection that builds over time.
Conveniently located at 9956 Dutchtown Road, Knoxville, TN 37923, our campus provides an ideal setting for both indoor and outdoor activities. We are committed to maintaining a safe, secure, and well-supervised environment so parents can have complete peace of mind while their children enjoy their day.
Please note: Space is limited to ONLY 28 students in order to maintain a high-quality experience, individualized attention, and a safe camper-to-staff ratio. Because of this, spots are expected to fill quickly.
Don’t let your child miss out on a summer full of laughter, adventure, learning, and meaningful friendships. This is more than just a camp—it’s a place where memories are made, confidence is built, and lives are enriched. Give your child something to look forward to every single day this summer!

Grace Covenant Baptist Academy has been a blessing to our family! When we started looking for an after-school program for our first child, we reached out to friends and neighbors for recommendations. We quickly realized that most of them were current attendees or had in the past. They had nothing but wonderful things to say. From day one they made us feel so comfortable and we knew this is where our kids belonged.
All the staff is friendly, respectful, and caring. Grace Covenant Baptist Academy also provided daily Bible lessons to the after-school kids and having that opportunity to have a Christian based program was important to our kids and family. We have had the privilege of being at Grace Covenant Baptist Academy for several years now.
We also enroll our kids in the summer day camp all summer long. My kids love it so much sometimes they do not want to leave when I arrive to pick them up! They have made life-long friendships and the staff have become like family to us. It is important to know that your children are safe, loved, and taken care of when you have to put them in other’s hands and Grace Covenant Baptist Academy does exactly that! Highly recommend to anyone looking for an affordable Christian-based school, preschool, or after-school program.

Grace Covenant Baptist Academy has been like a second home for my children since 2015.
My oldest son who is now 12 years old, attended prek for two years and then the after school program and summer camps all throughout elementary school. My youngest son who is now 6 years old is now attending the afterschool program and camps during the summer.
Mr. Alan, Mrs. Debbie and Ms. Jamie have always provided the upmost attention and care to my children. They minister to my children daily and share the love of Christ which is why we keep our children with them. They truly are the sweetest and most loving staff to my family! As parents, we have never had to worry about what our kids are doing or what care they are receiving while they are at Grace Covenant Baptist Academy. We know they are being loved and challenged to be the very best they can be and to be a light for Christ! I would recommend them to anyone seeking affordable, fun and Christ centered care for their children!

2020 was a scary time to send a child to Kindergarten, and we were happy to find a spot at Grace Covenant Baptist Academy for our son. The small class size ensured limited exposure, as well as more one-on-one time with the teacher.
Our son has grown academically and established close friendships during his time at GCBA. We have confidence in what our son is learning and trust what he is (and isn’t) being exposed to every day.
As a parent, my heart is full when my son asks to read from the Bible at bedtime and wants to play Christian music at home, because he remembered a song he sang at school. Our son has developed close relationships with the staff and we know he is cared for every day.
We’ve loved our time at GCBA and look forward to our son’s continued growth and development, both academically and spiritually.

When Covid hit back in 2020 and there was uncertainty about whether school would remain in session, it was a straightforward decision for us to enroll our son in Grace Covenant Baptist Academy for third grade.
We have had a long-standing connection with the Smiths, Debbie and Alan, dating back to when my daughter, who is now 24 years old, was only three years old. Her educational journey began at Noah's Ark, which later transformed into Grace Covenant School. From the age of three until she reached school age, she attended this institution. She also participated in the afterschool program and spent every summer there until she turned 12.
Likewise, our 12-year-old son began his association with the school when he was four. Starting with preschool, he then continued with the after-school program and participated in their summer camp. Although he attended public school for three years, the circumstances brought on by Covid altered our plans. What was initially intended to be a one-year arrangement extended to three years, encompassing his completion of 5th grade.
During his time at Grace Covenant, our son experienced not only academic growth but also spiritual development. He excelled in various subjects and formed enduring friendships. One of the typical concerns when considering private schools is the cost, but Grace Covenant's tuition proved to be reasonable. Additionally, the small classroom sizes ensured ample personalized attention and assistance.
Our satisfaction with the three years our son spent at the school is immense. The institution's atmosphere exudes a strong sense of family orientation. Over the years, we've witnessed the growth of Debbie and Alan's daughters, from their marriages to becoming parents themselves, just as they have observed the milestones in our family. This sense of interconnectedness led us to feel like a part of this extended family. Looking back on the past two decades, I am eternally grateful for the enriching experiences and relationships we've cultivated within this community.
