Summer Day Camp: week 1: Awesome God

"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light." -1 Peter 2:9

The theme for the first week of Summer Day Camp was 'Awesome God.' The Bible lessons that were presented to the kids throughout the week emphasized this message and different aspects of our awesome God, as well as incorporating the whole theme of the summer, which is 'freedom.' During the regular camp schedule (Monday-Thursday), the kids attending played crazy games to start the day, worshiped the Lord with lots of dancing and singing, actively listened and got involved with the Bible teachings, made crafts relating to the lesson of the day, played sports, learned new life skills, and were able to be creative either through writing, painting, or using salt dough.

The field trip location for Friday was Randall Museum. The kids learned about several animals through a presentation, then were able to read about and view different species and things of nature that were displayed in the building. While at the museum, the majority of the children also trekked up a large rock that overlooked the beautiful city.
