Restarting Discoveryland Onsite Services

No. Each of our campuses has unique situations that we must consider separately. Everyone can continue to join Discoveryland Online on Sunday afternoons. 

Yes and No. It will look different in a few small aspects, like enhanced cleaning procedures, and monitoring room sizes and capacity. However, our core values and mission have not changed and we still want every child to have fun and learn about God.

• We will have hand sanitizing stations throughout Discoveryland.
• We will be using a touchless check-in system through the Northwoods mobile app.
• We'll encourage one parent drop-off and pick-up to alleviate congestion in our hallways.
• Cleaning procedures have been enhanced and we will be diligent to sanitize all toys and clean touchpoints before and after each service.
• We'll be monitoring room sizes and capacity carefully, which will dictate which rooms are open. We are a volunteer-run ministry.
• For now, we will not have food or drinks. We will return snacks as soon as we safely can.
• We will be designing low touch programming and activities to encourage social distancing without the kids noticing.

Starting July 5, we will be moving to a Mobile Check-In system through the Northwoods app. You'll check your kids in on your way here on your phone and receive a QR code. When you arrive at a Check-In Kiosk, just scan the code and grab your tags from the printer - it's completely touchless!

Check out this video for a step by step tutorial.

We are leaving it up to you, depending on what makes you comfortable.

Classrooms will open for children 15 minutes before service starts.

We’ll all need to work together to help keep Discoveryland safe, so please stay home and participate in Discoveryland Online if your child has been sick in the last week.

Volunteers should arrive at least 30 minutes before service to help with enhanced cleaning procedures.

When you return to campus, your kids will have moved up to the next grade level! Please use the grade level listed on their name tags when they check in.

If your family is sick or isn't ready to return yet (or if you're on vacation!), Discoveryland Online will continue on Sunday afternoons, with Little Kids services at 3:00pm and Big Kids services at 4:00pm. We also have activities, recipes, discussion guides, and more in our At Home with Discoveryland resources for the full Discoveryland experience!

You can watch Discoveryland Online's previous episodes any time you'd like in the media archive or in the mobile app!
