MEGA Sports Camp

Last week was our VBS - it was great but totally exhausting! Our church decided to leave the "traditional" VBS behind, and try something new - a week long sports camp! We also decided to combine our usual two sessions (AM and PM) into one big evening session. It was a huge experiment that ended up being a huge success. We had 300 kids and 150 volunteers who all went non-stop for three hours straight every night. The kids (and their leaders) got to participate in soccer, basketball, cheer/baseball and crafts each night. There wasn't a dull moment the entire time! Addison and I both led groups of about 25 kids each - Addison had J's group (Preschool-First Grade), and I had C's group (4-6th grade). M was able to serve as a youth staff and helped with Addison's group. Taking 25 little 4-6 year olds around to different stations every half hour just about put him over the edge at times! Every time I saw him, he was busy counting kids to make sure he didn't lose anyone! Here are just a few pictures of the week.
