Bible Discovery Camp 2020 Sabbatical

Loved BDC Family and Friends ~

As our seventh year approaches, with schedules on hold for the entire world, it seems best for Bible Discovery Camp to take a sabbatical year with the expectation of returning in June 2021.

Appropriately, we’ve discovered the word sabbatical has roots in the Bible in the Hebrew word meaning rest.  In Genesis 2:2, God rested on the seventh day from all his work, and in Leviticus 25:3-5, the land is to be given a year of rest after six years of sowing, pruning and gathering.

So BDC will take a year of rest, to pray and consider and grow in understanding of our purpose.  We look forward to keeping in touch during the year and to seeing the renewal that this time will bring to each of us.

That’s a rest and a promise, with much love from your BDC crew!

Dates and Theme

Bible Discovery Camp is a week-long, 9:00 a.m. to noon camp for children of ages 3-11 that revolves around a carefully coordinated Bible-themed curriculum. Our purpose is to provide a joyful opportunity for the children of our community to share an inspired application of the Bible. Children visiting the area are also welcome.

The hours are filled with singing, age appropriate group study of carefully chosen Bible stories, arts and crafts, games, and individual time for reflection during a prayer walk. A break and a healthy snack are provided mid-morning.

During the last hour of camp on Friday the children put on a presentation for family and friends of what they have learned that week. Refreshments immediately follow the presentation, giving everyone the opportunity to make new friendships and share inspiration from the week’s activities.

 

“And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord, and great shall be the peace of thy children.” Isaiah 54:13

Benefits

Through acquaintance with Bible characters and songs, Bible Discovery Camp offers ways for your child to discover and remember how God’s love is always present, protecting and guiding. A grateful parent offered that children learn how to:

  • be part of a team, make strong, healthy friendships
  • overcome fear, stress, and anxiety
  • conquer feeling lonely or bullied
  • navigate interpersonal relations
  • feel compassion for people different from themselves
  • express independence
  • feel confidence
  • overcome disappointment
  • celebrate success

Your Child's Safety

Children are precious to us and so is their safety. All children are safely supervised by a minimum of two pre-screened adults at all times. Children must be signed in and out each day by a pre-authorized parent or adult on the registration list. Once a child is signed in, that child remains with their assigned Camp Guide and Camp assistants until their authorized adult checks them out.
