Closing Celebration

Before the kids took the stage, we announced the missions offering. Every year the boys and girls compete to raise money (what's wrong with a little healthy competition? especially if it's for missions, right?) This year the girls won, so Ryan agreed to take a pie in the face & Lauryn did the honors...

Then Austin snuck up out of nowhere and got me too!

gross, all in the hair...

To close our week, all 125 children sang for us. I'm determined to get a video of this next year!

quick camp video

I haven't done a big camp post yet, but I told Brendan's mom about this today and wanted to share!

Passportkids! gives campers the opportunity to lead in evening worship services. On Monday night, Brendan led a prayer...

Ring Around the Roses

During VBS this year, Mrs. Jan taught Ayano and Carlton to play "Ring Around the Roses." They LOVED it! My favorite parts of this video are how they know to hold hands, how they try to sing with her (Ayano says "ashie"), and how they clap and jump up and down at the end!
