CentriKid

Ava, Claire and I just returned from a fun-filled, action packed week at Centri-Kid.  Centri-Kid is a summer church camp for children in grades 3-5.  This year Ava was old enough to attend so I was asked to chaperone.  Of course I said yes, (I love being off in the summers) and Claire also got to come along even though she had only just finished 1st grade.

Each day we began with breakfast, time alone with God, and worship.  The kids went to their recreation times while the chaperones had bible study.  We then met back up for lunch and sent the kids off to their track times.  Each kid got to pick three activities (tracks) in which they wanted to participate.  After track time we ate supper and ended the night with worship and church bible time.  Sprinkled throughout the afternoon and after evening worship was "hang time".  Hang time was basically free time for the kids.  During free time, the kids got to shop in the camp store, hang out in the snack shack, and various other activities.  Lights out at 10:00.  My girls spent most of their free time in the snack shack playing air hockey, carpet ball, and buying snacks.  The very last day we had OMC (Organized Mass Chaos).  This was so much fun for kids and adults.

Ready for tracks

The camp counselors were awesome with our kids and they were very open about sharing their faith.  In addition, everything the kids did, whether it be recreation time, tracks, or OMC, the counselors would stop periodically and read from the bible.  They would incorporate the bible into everything!

Beginning of OMC

This week was a great time of growing and bonding for our kids.  My prayer is that they stay close to God and continue to grow in Him.
