Jr Bible Camp... or when I realized I'm NOT as young as I think. #campisforyoungens




Camping has never been a adventure I LOOK FORWARD too...but Jr Bible camp is  slightly different then pitching a tent, starting a log fire, and sleeping on the ground. There IS  Cabins, a working kitchen, showers (!!) and bunks.( boards of wood! )


The Grounds are beautiful 




This is the third year our Church has done this for the lil saints ages 5-12.
There is a VERY GOOD schedule that kept things running pretty smooth despite the rainy moments.

The main topic was Jesus is our Best Friend & we need to act more like him.



During Daily devotions the campers all put  letters
in a box  to their best friend, (Jesus)
 thingsthey want help with, sharing their feelings about
 being a kid now...etc

We have a talented band and great worship leaders who lead our CHURCH section.

Many of the kids got involved- singing, playing interments and dance


 Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with
 the timbrel and harp.
Psalm 149:3

at the end of each lesson a major DANCE PARTY would brake out...I didn't get photos of that as I was dancing also -- after that I received my 
 A HA moment - I'M TOO OLD FOR THAT MUCH FUN =)

Moment like the second  photo below here touch my heart the most because one of the best things about this camp is it really gives the kids time for forming some wonderful friendships








Along with the spiritual we like to just get dirty and have fun!!

 Art project turned the campers into
tiny Jackson Pollock's



Octoball  was the hit of the camp the councilors
get a kick out of the fact that the kids
loved to be caged in ~LOL 






One of the actives I was overseeing was the skit in a bag. The Boys Team & Girls Team were each given a bag with a few props - a topic...BE LIKE JESUS and they were to act out the skit twice, first where they were not like Jesus & then change the actions to show someone or all acting more like Jesus would want them too.

They were so very creative...I was very impressed on how they came up with dialogue all on their own. If someone didn't want to have a speaking part  they volunteered to be living props. 



Closing out each night was fun by the fire!
MadLib stories had everyone in stitches!







I'm glad I was able to be a part of this camp...I know the kids had fun and even though my body was HURTING I KNOW it had a POSITIVE EFFECT on the kids so it was worth it.
