Stories

From the eyes of a child…

The sound of excited chatting with the twinkling of the Christmas tree met me as I came in for the first day of camp. I saw my friend and so I rushed over to her to get my spot next to her. We were so excited for the Christmas camp to start!

We all started downstairs to go over rules and a talk about Jesus. Then we got to go to our first class I got to go to cooking where we got to use chocolate and cake and other things to create a Christmas treat! Then I went to dance and theater class where we practiced a play about the birth of Jesus. Then we had a class that helped us to memorize the story.

A cool thing happened too! When we were in dance class the teacher saw that one of my friends was really good. So, she got him a scholarship to a dance school for a whole year!

The last day we had a party at the end of the day and Santa came! As we left they gave us all a sheep that had stories and songs about Jesus recorded on it when you push it’s foot.

I was so happy! The camp was so much fun and I can’t wait until the next one. It was so much better than staying home and just sitting at home! I learned a lot about Jesus and the Christmas story that maybe next year I’ll be the one to tell it at home!
