My Camp kicks off our Jam-Packed July

Today was an amazing day! We kicked off our crazy July with the first day of My Camp Day Camp and it was such a great time. The theme for My Camp is HIS world is MY world. We are learning all about God's creation and how He has entrusted us to be caretakers of all He has created for us. Today, we heard the story of creation and talked about how God gave us all these things and we must take care of them. The highlight of our day was a nature walk around Lake Valencia. The kids had a great time finding "treasures" from nature. We also had a wonderful discussion about the massive amounts of litter we found around the lake (most of it left from 4th of July festivities). The kids were all very upset that so much litter covered the areas around Lake Valencia!

I'd like to thank our youth volunteers that are helping us with My Camp - Reed Burroughs, Camryn & Carly Roberts, Iselin Hagevik and Wolffe Bonewell. They are all so wonderful with the kids and are a big help! Another thank you to our church intern - Emily McElroy for all her help! Be sure to check back each day for photos from My Camp! You can also find photos on the FUMC 4:12 Kids Facebook Page!
