Central 2 Update #2
Greetings From Central 2 Team,
Our week in Grand Rapids was busy but productive! While we were there, our daily schedule consisted of singing worship songs in the mornings with the girls from Community Teen Camp, helping with camp maintenance in the afternoons, and going into the city of Grand Rapids to help with Kids Games in the evenings.
Kids Games is a relatively new program that is free to the community and is structured like a week-long day camp. Each evening consisted of a Bible lesson, a nutrition class, an outside game, and then an hour-long specialized track. (Tracks included fashion design, basketball, soccer, football, chess, video production, and martial arts.) The staff was made up of volunteers from various local churches in the community. This Kids Games program is a great idea for any community and was a huge success for the Grand Rapids area.
We returned each night to Little Pine Island Camp, where Captains Wood were extremely hospitable to us during our stay. We were welcomed warmly by the staff at LPI and included in any activities the staff did for fun. This was a huge blessing to our team.
We have now arrived in Vincennes, Indiana and are looking forward to our week here.
God Bless!Carolyn, Audrey, Eric, Abby, See, and David
