Part II: Questions?
Who will
be teaching my children?
Children will have a crew leader who they are with all day. This adult will
adventure with them throughout the day as they move from station to station,
doing different activities. Each of the teachers has worked with children before
this event. Many are full and part time teachers as well as many loving
volunteers from our church who support and care for children.
What will my children do during the time they are here?
They will sing songs, learn the bible
lesson, make crafts, eat great
snacks, be active at the Games station
and enjoy our Adventure Theater!
How will kids learn the Bible?
Each day has a Bible Point, Bible Story and Treasure Verse. Children will
remember the simple point and memorize the Bible verse for the day, as well as
hear and learn a Bible story that emphasizes the point of the day.
