In response to suggestions from interested churches, Crosstalk Ministries began providing Summer Day Camps in 1979 to Anglican churches in the Montreal area. Since then it has evolved and expanded to an ecumenical base, including a wide number of Christian denominations. In the first two decades of operation the program, developed by the Reverend (now Doctor) Brett Cane and others, reached over 162 different churches and thousands of children.

This program is designed for children from age 4 to 12. Its aim is to nurture their relationship with Jesus, and to foster that relationship with a positive and enjoyable experience of what life in the church can be. The materials required can be received by applying to Crosstalk Ministries.

Teams recruited and trained by Crosstalk Ministries are available to present the program. They spend one week in each assigned church, and are billeted by members of the congregation. The actual Day Camp is five days, concluding with a Closing Service and a "Banquet." Each day there is a series of activities which focus on a passage of scripture. Slides, drama, devotional times and creative arts are used to emphasize the scripture of the day. Fun is strongly stressed in the playing of games, the singing of songs, and having a good time with the children. An integral aspect of the fun is Lamb; a puppet who, at times, acts as Master of Ceremonies in introducing the day's theme, and who at other times promotes laughter.

The Travelling Team works along side the Parish Team which is an essential component of the program. It is important that the Parish Team assist in leading the main presentation, devotions, creative arts and games. This helps to provide continuity for the children, by including people they already know and with whom they probably have a rapport, while introducing some new and hopefully exciting leaders.
