It’s More than Just Goldfish Crackers - Good chefs serve a good meal; great chefs serve a great meal and a story that goes along with it. And that’s exactly what our snack helpers have been doing for VBC campers. Starting with baby Moses in a basket (teddy grahams laid safely inside of chips)…the burning bush (red frosting with pretzels)…the plagues (popcorn with gummy flies and frogs) and today, the Red Sea (Red licorice and goldfish.) It just doesn’t get any yummier for kids.
We’re Getting Closer: C3 Missions – Our goal is to raise $6,000 for the Kids COR House of Hope in Uganda. Thanks to VBC campers who have helped raise $3,379. We’re also very grateful for the donated backpacks, school supplies and gifts for the mamas that care for these kids. Please dig deep for that spare change. Campers’ pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters and dollars are making a big difference.
Wednesday End of the Day Totals:
Money: $3,379
Back Packs: 204
Crayons/Markers: 425
Scissors/glue: 449
Pencils/Pens: 3,145
The Plagues Came to Drama - VBC’s Indiana “Illinois” Smith returned to help campers discover how Moses warned the Pharaoh of forthcoming Plagues if he didn’t do the right thing and let the Israelites free. The evil Pharaoh remained evil. And the Plagues came, and kept on coming, bringing smelly frogs, locusts, dead livestock, and boils. What a sight to be seen.
Today was the Real Soaker - The rains may have come and gone, but campers were still getting wet. Thanks to some creative water relay races such as putting a soaked football jersey on and wet sweatpants and then running 25 yards to the finish line. Some kids were more game than others. But everyone had their fair share of water.
Camper Tunes for Everyone – Doesn’t matter if you like country, jazz, hip hop or rock, we’re betting there’s not a camper that isn’t humming one of the VBC songs this year. You can download the songs right off the VBC blog, or purchase a Phil Joel CD at the Well Book Store.
