VBS and Music Camp at St. George’s

What an incredible week we had at St. George’s Vacation Bible School and Music Camp! Our campers had a wonderful time learning, creating, playing, and growing together.

Throughout the week, the children enjoyed captivating Godly Play stories, including Jesus in the Temple, Moses and the Exodus, The Ten Best Ways to Live (The Ten Commandments), The Ark and the Tabernacle, and The Ark and the Temple. These stories sparked thoughtful conversations and helped bring Bible lessons to life.

Our craft sessions were filled with creativity and imagination. Campers created personal journals to record their thoughts and reflections, designed tambourines for use in our musical performance, built their own special arks, and decorated beautiful picture frames. They have also been hard at work helping design and create the backdrop set for our upcoming musical.

When it came time for games, Father Rock kept everyone active and laughing with a variety of fun activities, including different versions of tag, rock-paper-scissors challenges, foot fencing, and much more.

Of course, one of the highlights of the week has been preparing for our musical, The Lost Boy. The children enthusiastically learned the songs, dialogue, and choreography for this delightful and melodic retelling of the story of Jesus getting lost in the Temple as a young boy.

You can view the full musical here.  Our campers have worked incredibly hard on this joyful and memorable presentation!
