PARENT CEREMONY:

We will have a parent ceremony on Friday for parents to see what campers have learned! The ceremony starts at 3:45 pm, although parents can arrive as early as 3:30 pm.

THEME:

We use a theme to bring Biblical truths to life in a way that’s relatable to campers. The theme serves as a fun and engaging platform to get kids excited about the biblical teaching for the week. This year’s theme takes place in the city of Eagletopia! Check out the paragraph below to read our theme introduction. 🙂

“Welcome to Eagletopia! Our once beautiful city has been facing some terrible events lately. An evil organization called the Council of Gloom has infiltrated our city and our people. Since then, they have completed many acts of chaos, sadness, and general meanness. Our people are losing hope as we face this oppressive organization and their “Doom and Gloom” campaign. The Council of Gloom’s baseless acts wreak havoc with things like soap that dyes people purple and chewing gum that can never be cleaned off shoes!

Eagletopia is desperate for a hero to come and save us from the Council of Gloom. Thankfully, we have the K.I.C.K. Academy on our side. The K.I.C.K. Academy believes in “Knowingly Intercepting Chaos with Kindness”… or as we like to shorten it,  “K.I.C.K.” All residents of Eagletopia have been enrolled in the academy and will begin training courses soon. Our goal is to prepare our residents to “K.I.C.K.” the Council of Gloom out of Eagletopia by fighting evil with good!”

THEME VERSES:

• MONDAY: 1 John 5:4 – That’s because everyone who is a child of God has won the battle over the world. Our faith has won the battle for us.
• TUESDAY: 1 John 5:11 – Here is what God says about the Son. God has given us eternal life. And this life is found in his Son. 
• WEDNESDAY: Romans 12:1a – So I beg you, brothers and sisters, because of the great mercy God has shown us, offer your lives as a living sacrifice to Him—an offering that is only for God and pleasing to him. 
• THURSDAY: Romans 12:5 – In the same way, we are many people, but in Christ, we are all one body. We are the parts of that body, and each part belongs to all the others.
• FRIDAY: Romans 12:21 – Don’t let evil defeat you, but defeat evil by doing good.

BIBLE STUDY OVERVIEW:

This week’s Bible study theme is 

• Day One: 1 John 5:1-5
