Day Camps Week 1

Last week we started having our day camps for the kids that live in the south of Romania. We stayed at the boys transition house and the kids came over from ten to five to learn and have fun.
We did lessons using skits based on Bible stories that highlighted one of the five senses. Then we had craft time based on those senses. The kids enjoyed this time a lot but were always asking about what games we would be doing.

The weather is finally hot, really hot! We've had mid 90's most of the time, so the water games have been a big hit. We play balloon toss, duck duck goose with a wet sponge, and spray them with the hose.

We have been coloring and making bracelets and necklaces with beads too.

With the girls we played memory with big cards.

The zip line is always a big "hit" too, you can see below that there is a mattress there for the stop.

We know many of these girls from summer camp in 2008 and they still talk about that summer and how they remember us!

No camp of ours would be complete without a scavenger hunt with plastic cows, insects, frogs, snakes, and candy. Somehow the cows manage to find their way into the most interesting places.

Parker and I found some bags with really big balloons, so we tried them out with water to make the best water balloon ever. We have been breaking them off the balcony on the kids.

These camps have been a lot of fun and the kids have been having a blast. We are so thankful to have the chance to work with them, especially those that we don't work with during the year. Please continue to pray for our camps and for the kids to have fun and learn about God. Pray for energy for us as we are doing this 6 days a week and have a few more weeks left. Please pray especially for us next week as we start teenage boys camps.
