Our first "official" Club 45 on Monday night was a blast! We started off the night with our "Club Time." This is where the kids get to choose from a variety of games and activities, both inside and outside - board games, fooz ball, basketball, football, four square, etc. It's a great time for them to connect with each other [...]
Last night was Animal Night - and boy was it a zoo?! :) Really, though, it felt like we WERE at the Canyon Springs Zoo - with zebras, flamingos, kangaroos, butterflies, bunnies, sharks, parrots, pandas, penguins, and lots of kitty cats! Thankfully, the invasion of animals didn't deter our clubbers from earning lots of awards! We had quite a few [...]
We had more than 50 leaders and clubbers splashing the night away at our Club 45 Kick Off Pool Party last night! It was a great start to the year. We played group games and pool games, had hot dogs and popsicles - but mostly we just hung as a group getting to know each other and enjoying getting to swim [...]
Our AWANA Kick Off last night was awesome! The Cove was packed with over 50 kindergarten through 3rd graders, who were loved and guided by 27 fearless AWANA leaders! In addition, we had 22 clubbers joining us for the very first time! It was so great to be able to share with them what AWANA is all about and what we get to [...]
As we mourn the fact that we're not getting to go to VBS again this week, let's take a few minutes and recap what an amazing week it was aboard the USS Submerged! Every day last week, we had almost 200 kids ("Bubbleheads") ages preschool through 5th grade flood our campus to learn about Jesus (oh - and have A [...]
Our mission aboard the USS Submerged is....COMPLETE!! What an amazing week! Our Bubbleheads were so great at staying focused on our key target for the week (which of course was to have fun) but also to....FIND THE TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD! We finished the week strong with some really fun activities in our rotations: CRAFT--The Bubbleheads created very special books. There was [...]
We are over the hump - and we could feel the energy today! Day 4 just might have been the best day so far! It was UNDERWATER DAY - and boy, did we have a host of sea creatures join us on the USS Submerged?! We had mermaids, sharks, a dolphin, squid, crabs, divers, an aquarium, a "school" of fish [...]
Hard to believe our mission aboard the USS Submerged is over half way complete! Boy, have we had fun!! One of our campers asked her mom last night, "Mommy, do you think I'll have as much fun at VBS tomorrow as I did today?" Well, I'm betting that she did! Today we reviewed our motto for the week: JESUS SEES. JESUS KNOWS. JESUS [...]
Well, we completed the second day of our USS Submerged mission. Our crew (made up of First Mates, Junior Officers and Bubbleheads) is amazing; they have stuck to the target and been able to FIND THE TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD every day! Not only that, but they were supremely decked out for Super Color Spirit Day; it was awesome! We [...]
The first day on the USS Submerged was awesome! Our crew of First Mates, Junior Officer and Bubbleheads are the best of the best; ask them what their submarine call sign is (i.e. how do they respond when Captain B asks them a question)??!! The crew made their way to four different ports this morning: Craft, Snack/Rec, Music/Missions and Story. All [...]
