The week started off with some visitors for our "Critter Corner".  We were visited by snakes, dogs, a rat, ferrets, bunnies, an iguana, and some other friendly animals.

Each Day, we started our opening together.  After an overview of the day's agenda the campers enjoyed Bible Lessons, Games, and Crafts throughout the campsite.  Then they came together at the campfire to learn songs and have a snack before our daily wrap-up.

The five Daily Themes were "Accepted by Jesus", "Protected by Jesus", "Saved by Jesus", "Forgiven by Jesus", and "Living for Jesus".  Each day ended with a wrap-up session by Moose Lake and a closing prayer.

We could not have done anything without the help of our volunteers.  We had a spectacular group of adult AND teen helpers this year.  Thank you for making VBS 2009 such a success!

Our campers ranged from Pre-K through 5th grade.  They were led by Mighty Moose and Wise Owls.  The children were Awesome Otters, Bouncing Bears, Rascally Raccoons, and Leaping Lizards.  The children enjoyed the SonRock Kids Camp Theme, especially taking their turns kayaking on 'Moose Lake'.

One of our Missions for the week was 'Joshua House'.  We collected non-perishable food items for this organization.  Joshua House is currently in need of additional protein and personal hygiene items.  Items may be dropped off at the church.

 
Rain or Shine,
campers loved to sing about Jesus!

The week ended with our Campfire Celebration.  The entire group came together to enjoy treats, sing about Jesus, and describe the week to their families.  Fun was had by all!
