Royal Family KIDS Camp Blog 6 Friday

Last day of camp. Time to pack, clean and get ready to return home. Many good things at camp: cabins, grandma & grandpa, counselors, kitchen staff, director, castaway cats, drama team and adventure. We learned today how a bulb can turn into a pretty flower. God makes bad into good. If a stream has a log get stuck, then a second will pile up and a third. Not forgiving can cause a bad pile up. Our puppets went on a hike looking for birds. Not far into the woods they got lost and had no idea how to find their way back. Proverbs 3 : 5&6 was the answer. Another example of bad into good was the doctors giving a shot. Serum or syrup, maple or not, is a weak disease, and our body is stronger. Again bad into good so we do not get sick.

Each camper got an award certificate and the 11 year olds graduated with cap and diploma. Great sack lunch, motorcycles and good byes. Prayer on the bridge for campers safe travel.

A very good camp.

Welcome home dinner was great with slide show from camp and good stories. Prayer circle released the campers with prayer.

Royal Family KIDS Camp Blog 4 Wednesday

Breakfast Club was based on Matthew 10 : 30. We can try to count the hairs on our heads, which is very difficult, but God knows because he made us and has made a loving plan for us. New puppets- Rosetta, Angle, Patrick and Tony. Zachariah was a short man with a lot of money. He was not good until he met Jesus. God has plans even for short people. Trying to build a toy tractor did not work well until we read the directions. God gave us parts and the Bible has the directions. Kids got kits to build. Some followed directions and others used the new parts to customize their pinewood derby cars. Lunch was a hit with chicken nuggets, real mac and cheese with salad bar. Hogel Zoo brought 5 animals to show the boys. Very good explanation of where they live and how they survive.

Back to Snokey and the cats. She could not find any meow mix in the forest. Where would she find some friends? She finds the mousetrap family who also needs food because of the alley cats. Snokey was a cast away cat who did not do anything wrong and the mousetrap family takes her in and will share the little food they have. What will the other mice say about a cat living with them? Grandpa mouse, Harlan was great for the part as an injured mouse wearing an ankle splint with tie-dye red, black and blue on his knee. Dinner was another hit with manwich, pasta, salad bar and watermelon.

Pastor Jeff from Our Savior’s reviewed what big things God has made. Joseph in jail trusted that God would save him. God gave him the power to tell what dreams meant. This power pleased the King and again Joseph was elevated to a good position.

Tonight was the indescribable talent show. The everywhere bear did tricks and gave hugs, we heard the story of the three bears in English accent with many great inflections, and the RFKC grandmas did Over the Rainbow in camp style.

Another great day at camp. Camper quote of the day “I am glad my brother is having a good time”.
