s'more sparks & explorers 1 (july 25 or 27-30)



More from Sparks & Explorers 1! (Pictures and tales from #2 are on their way ...)

Sparks & Explorers 1 was a sunshine-y kind of week ... till Friday, when the parents arrived at the same time as a tornado warning! We had some small hail and some scary thunder and scarier clouds, but God protected us from the actual tornado. Thank you, Lord!

Our speaker, Jenny Chell, is a big fan of listening to God and talking to God (maybe an easier way of saying that would be, "being in conversation with God") and as a result, we got to spend lots of chapel time writing and drawing about what we were learning from or about God! Jenny talked about God is with us A LOT. We learned about how God created the whole earth and how the same God who spoke all things into existence created us in His image. We talked a lot about how God loves us so much that He gives us the choice to love Him, instead of just forcing us to love Him. And, we learned that He loves us SO MUCH that He sent His only son, Jesus, to die on the cross for our sins ... and that He raised Jesus from the dead after three days all so that He can be near his children. And that's us: His children!

And, some photos:

Becca leads the pack to back to main site after games at the field.


No week of camp is complete without games at the field! Much running and jumping and diving and drip-drip-dropping of water occurred.






And hockey! How can we be Canadian without a bit of hockey?



Pony riding and horse care? Serious business, people. Serious business.
