Each summer, Silver Maple host a Church Camp. Silver Maple conducts camps for children, teens, and the entire family. Youth camps are specially designs for kids, ages 8-18. Support is provided by college-age and older, experienced counselors. Family camp was developed for families of all sizes and ages, providing flexible schedules that accommodate for each family's needs.

We have started volunteering to help at the homeless shelter in Newton. We serve 3-4 nights every 10 weeks. Our congregation signs up to prepare a meal and serve each of those nights. Our youth group usually takes one night to prepare and serve a meal. This has been a great service project.
Every December we hold a gingerbread house party for students up to 6th grade. Each student gets to decorate and take home their own gingerbread house!
