Caravan is a Christian club for children ages three through the sixth grade. Its purpose is to promote spiritual, mental, physical, and social development. With the direction of one or more adult leaders, called Guides, children study a special age- appropriate curriculum and participate in a program of advancement based on earning badges. While Caravan is fun, it isn't "just more school". 
The activities are designed to prepare children with skills and abilities that they will use as they become teens and then adults.  Caravan was started by the Church of the Nazarene in 1946.  While the uniform, badges, and other aspects of Caravan have changed over the years, the purpose hasn't changed.  Caravan is still designed to minister to the whole child - socially, physically, mentally, and spiritually.

Times Change...

....But the purpose stays the same.
