Green Team
posted in Uncategorized |“We are the Green Team, the Mighty, Mighty Green Team” You would here this cheer at random times throughout the day at camp this summer. The Green Team is a day program for all the children of staff to insure that while the moms were serving as Kitchen Crew or Office staff, their children were being supervised with special activities.
The Green Team Leaders rotate each week- and some weeks we even had one of our staff guys help! This was the 3nd week of camp with leaders Chava Hall and Justin Byers.
This was the 4th week of camp with leaders Laura and Brittany. The leaders are considered counselors during the day (which is why they wear yellow team shirts) and then they get to hang out with the support staff during the evening!
One of the challenges of being Green Team leaders is having a range of children from ages 3 to 11 and trying to keep them all engaged in the activities. They also work hard to help the Green Team memorize verses during the week!
Some weeks the Green Team got to go do the Morning Activities- here is Timmy doing archery.
They all loved getting horse rides!
Here are a bunch of the Green Team kids getting a ride in Grandpa Tom’s carriage!
Sometimes the Green Team made baked goods for the staff- and other times they surprised the staff by doing some of the dishes!
Katy loved the Jr. Girls weeks when some of the campers would “cook” with her in the Princess Playhouse.
Timmy loved the field games!
Tori and Clayton having a water battle!
Katy got to go fishing with the Jr. Boys and caught 2 fish on one hook!
Bethany got to dress up to match her Aunt Susanne during the second Jr. Girls week. The Green Team girls were able to enjoy the Princess dinner just as much as the campers!
Here are Esther and Tori all dressed up!
The Green Team also got to do the Rendezous each Thursday evening. Here’s Timmy looking like an Indian!
Esther loved the face painting each week!
Tori was trying hard to shoot the staff with the water sponges!
The Green Team also got to enjoy the special Sunday evening activities with the staff. Here is Esther rappelling at Gourd Cave.
Timmy was often the only boy on the Green Team, unless his buddies Andrew and J.L. came!
Bethany and Arianna loved the petting zoo. Friendships are a big part of the Green Team.
A big thank you to all the Green Team leaders for making camp so special for our children as we serve!
Serving Jesus,
