Water Works Camp 2011

During the summer months, our church takes full advantage of the warm weather and holds tons of different day camps for the kids! After looking over the schedule, I signed Sawyer an his Day Care buddies up for the Water Works Camp.

They had SUCH an awesome week going to church and doing TONS of water themed activities!

Sawyer kind of partnered up with one of the high school leaders for the week and followed him everywhere! It was quite a bit of work getting things situated at home for a sub to come in and watch the infants while we were gone everyday and load all the older kids up and taxi them all over-but it was so worth it! (My wonderful mother was there this week too-so she held down the fort :)

They would always start out the day all together in the gym, doing fun songs and talking about the verse that they were going to be focusing on that day. They were also broken up into groups of ten and would just rotate around to the different stations of activities all over the church grounds. They had water slides, mini pools, pretty amazing arts and crafts, snack time, Bible story time, memory verse madness and then would all come back to big group to finish with more singing!














They were all SO tuckered out by the time that we got home-they kept falling asleep in the car...and we all know what a joyous time that is when you wake kids up for a ten minute nap....


They can't wait for next summer so that they can go back :) It's also been pretty neat to see some interest with some of the families to start coming to our church because the kids had such a great time that week! Wahoo God!
