Dear Families,
We are so excited to spend this coming week with your kids! This year's camp is all about light—why God made it, what it can do, and why Christ is called the light of the world. It turns out that light is pretty amazing, so we can't wait to explore it with your amazing kids. There will be delicious snacks, super fun adults and youth leaders, and lights galore. We pray that we finish next week understanding what it means to let our light shine bright!
Here are some things to know as you prepare for the week:
Online Medical Release Form
We are committed to providing a fun and safe environment for your kids. In order to do so, we need you to complete this online form for each of your campers. Please make sure you complete the waiver before Monday morning. Thanks!
Schedule
Each day camp officially starts at 9 AM with our opening praise and learning session. You are welcome to drop your child off anytime between 8:40 and 9:00 AM. Those who arrive early can play together while we wait for the opening session to start. We'll also have some morning snacks available to get our campers going. Camp ends at 12:15 PM each day.
Check-In and Check-Out
Campers will need to be checked in each morning at the entrance to the park. You can enter off the Union Street side of the church. We'll also confirm each day who will be picking up your child so we make sure everyone gets home safely.
Thursday Excursion
Everyday at camp will be an adventure, but on Thursday we will head out on an en-lightenting excursion! We will still meet at church at our regular time for our praise session. Then we'll pack some snacks and get ready for the day together. We will head out to some nearby nature spots and return at noon. If you have any questions or concerns about our Thursday plan, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Kid Activity Kits for Union Station
As we explore God's invitation to be light in the world, we are inviting campers to help bless the families at Union Station Homeless Services by making activity kits for kids. On Monday we will explain this to the kids and send a sign-up sheet so you can volunteer to bring different items as you are able. We will assemble on Friday, so if you could drop off your items by Thursday, that would be awesome. We encourage you to have your kids help you shop and consider what they would want to use to be creative and have fun. Thank you for helping us spread some light with these kits!
That's all for now! Stay tuned for more updates during camp, but let me know if you have any questions in the meantime. Thank you for allowing us to spend the week with your kids. We love you!
With great joy and anticipation,
Pastors Lindsay and Mary
