Day Camps



This week our church is putting on a day camp right in our neighborhood! (the next two weeks will be in nearby areas). Leif's role is the "sport's instructor" and he's in a few skits. My hope is to get to know more people from our ring of apartments. It's a great way to connect. Each day starts with games (also Leif's role). The kids were divided into four teams and did various relays. In this one, they had to run around an area without breaking the toilet paper. Russian toilet paper is pretty tough, though! haha.



After the game/sports time, the kids had a choice of a different "station" to go to: drama, art, music, or sports. In this one, Leif is teaching the kids flag football.



The art, drama, and music groups share what they've done/learned with the rest of the kids. Each element fits into the program.




At the end, Sasha ties everything together for a talk about Jesus and how much he loves each person. 40+ kids were there yesterday, and hopefully more will come today and tomorrow!
