Digital Church Camp

Welcome to an experiment! I hope this page becomes your “Go To” for daily activities and videos used to give a little summer camp/VBS feel to your days. I have organized this project around a typical Day Camp schedule. Suggested times are in parenthesis, but these are only for those of you who wish to follow a schedule at all:

(9:00am) Live Gathering on Zoom
(9:30am) Bible lesson video watch and journal response
(10:00am) Outdoors/movement Challenge
(10:30am) Art Project
(11:00am) Music Time
(11:30am) Noon Day Prayers on Zoom

You can follow the schedule, follow part of it, or none of it. To build community and connect, we ask you to join us for the Live Gathering at 9:00 and the Live Noon Day Prayers at 11:30.

Simply Scroll down, choose an activity from each block you’d like to do today, (or follow along with us on the chosen activity for each day) click the link to the lesson, and play!
