This summer, New Life Christian Church’s Family Ministry is doing something a little different. It’s not a new idea (others have done it rather successfully), but it is new to us and we are very excited about it. It’s called Camp Create.
Camp Create is an action-packed week of intense fine arts training and Bible study. The five fine arts included are dance, drama, music, sign-language, and visual art. Each session touches on the five arts, a Bible study, refreshments, and a rockin’ opening session.
It is a week long camp that culminates with a Friday night production for the parents. Each day will start at 1 and run til 5. The theme for this year is Safari So Good: The Goodness of ONE. Verse for the week is Psalm 136:1. “Give thanks to the Lord for He is good. His steadfast love endures forever.”
This why I love that New Life is doing Camp Create:
- Provides an opportunity to serve. If you are in high school or college and looking for something different and fun to help out with this summer, then this is a great opportunity to invest in children in a unique format while sharing the love of Christ with them.
- It’s not centered around sports. Let’s be honest, the nZone IS sports. So for New Life and the nZone to be offering this camp for the “fine arts” is a great way to reach out to all different kinds of children who have a lot more interest in things other than sports.
- It presents us with another opportunity to reach the community. As I said above, the nZone screams sports. Camp Create is none of that and it allows New Life to reach even more people so that they can discover of God is.
