Eco-Adventures Camp

This week some of the wwKids experienced the eco-adventures camp. During this week they we able to realize that nature was a part of what God created and that he has given us the duty to take care of it. Some of the activities included a bug hunt, working with the garden, learning that our food comes from the ground and how God uses nature to create it, making new objects out of trash and learning how to reduce/reuse/recycle. Overall, for everyone involved this was a great week of fun and learning that will help everyone to realize that there is a beauty to nature that we need to preserve. Overall, it was a wonderful week that was enjoyed by all.

One of the major points that did stick out this past week was that God gave us the five senses and that they define us as different from other animals with a purpose. It was great to see the kids interact with each other, but also interact with who they are and that they have a purpose. The kids all began to realize that they can do more things to make a difference, which is the point of the summer theme of helping hands heal the world. This was great to see in the kids, and they are helping to create a better world for tomorrow.
