Champs Camp II – A Success Again!

June 18-21 we conducted our second annual Champs Camp. I was again involved with the administration and leadership of the camp. Champs Camp is a day camp for elementary school age children from the community. It’s a high energy program with lots of singing, games, crafts, and, of course, Bible lessons. This program was started last summer by Biblijski institut, with the help of a large group from the Round Rock Church of Christ in Round Rock, Texas. This year, Biblijski institut again sponsored the camp, along with a new Croatian partner, Društvo Prijatelja Biblije (Association of Friends of the Bible). We had a much smaller group from Texas this time, but many more Croatian volunteers, which was encouraging. This year we had about 75 kids who came to the camp. Once again the program seemed to be well received by both children and parents. One of the most exciting aspects was that we had several kids who will be too old for the camp next year who said that they would like to help with it next time. It’s encouraging that they see something in the camp and something in us that they want to stay connected with. We are brainstorming and praying about ways we can capitalize on this interest and keep these kids engaged, both in the summer, and throughout the school year. Pray along with us that these efforts will produce fruit for the Kingdom in years to come. Enjoy some photos from Champs Camp II:
