Hello Blog Friends!
As promised, here is a bunch of photos, a couple of video clips and a few quotes taken from the Day Camp evaluation forms sent to us by coordinators and clergy. We really hope you will enjoy this shortened version of the pre-pandemic weekly “Postcards” that featured photos sent in by our travelling teams. Unfortunately only 4 of this year’s 7 host churches sent us photos but it is good to be able to share them as they give a glimpse into the chaos, craziness and love that happened during a Day Camp week. Since a picture is worth a thousand words, let’s now take a look at all those happy campers 😊.
The first group comes from a Day Camp held in Edmonton
A favourite quote from the Edmonton church’s evaluation form:-
“The curriculum is superb (coherent and unified from the first announcement of the daily theme to the special event debrief each day!), and all the options for games were very useful”.
The next group of photos comes from a church here in Montreal
These photos are from another suburban Montreal area Church :-
Finally a great video clip from a church in British Columbia:-
And to close off, here are some lovely prayers from one of the community’s debrief meeting:-
-the work/ministry of our youth leaders – they did a great job and ‘hung in there’
-we thanked God for the weather and for safety for all
-we thanked God for the lunch and snack-making team.
-we have thanks for the creative connections and the way they were featured in the closing service
-we thanked God for the life in the closing service and the number of families from outside the church that attended.
“The children had fun and went home happy.”
