Non-Christian Camp Day #5: Jesus served others

“A new commandment I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another”
John 13:34

Today was all about serving and doing well to those around you. We focused on our service to others, how it can affect a person’s life and how doing something good is a contagious chain reaction. Too often in this world, we tend to put all the focus on ourselves, how we can make things better for us and we forget to give a helping hand to those that need it more.

During lunch and dinner, kids would volunteer to clean the tables of another class. It was great to see kids get very involved in serving their fellow camper. The kids were encouraged to serve others throughout the day and not to wait for something in return.

In the afternoon, we had a missionary run where we set up 10 stations; each station was a different country where you would have to complete a challenge associated with the country. It was a lot of fun to see the kids rushing to complete every challenge and you can see the competiveness in each group to be the fastest.

During the evening service, we gave an opportunity for the kids to show everyone their talents. We had kids that sang, said poems, did cartwheels, push-ups, bridges, splits and lots of other things.
