5-Day Club®

Five summer days filled with truth and fun

A neighborhood club for children ages five to twelve, led by trained and carefully screened volunteers.

How the club works

A simple week with a lasting purpose

5-Day Club is a lively 90-minute club held on five consecutive days. Children experience dynamic Bible lessons, creative learning activities, an inspiring missionary story, meaningful songs, and Scripture memorization.

CEF is an international, Bible-centered organization that has served children for more than 80 years. Local churches often co-sponsor a 5-Day Club as a practical summer outreach.
