1. BEFORE we go, you prepare 4 notes that tie in with the day's theme and activities and also have a Bible verse and a clue to your identity for Ginny to take to camp. Each night of camp, your camper is given your note to read.
2. While we are at camp, you prepare a little gift. Once we return, you present your camper the gift and reveal who you are.

1. You get to know a child and a child gets to know you better!
2. The children have a remembrance from MABC each day to know they are not forgotten.
3. The children have their homesickness eased by the fun of a mystery.
4. The children have another tie in with the Passport theme Bible lessons and Bible themes each day.
5. New friends are made between generations that can last a lifetime!

 

On Thursday, June 18th from 5pm to 8pm, Chick-fil-a Beechwood is hosting a Spirit Night for Action Ministries' child hunger relief initiative- Smart Lunch, Smart Kid. Be sure to visit them at their table in the restaurant and give them your receipt because they get 10 percent of the sales from the receipts they collect. 

There will be a craft table for kids who want to decorate lunch bags that will be used for delivering sack lunches to children in 5 communities in Athens.  There will also be some giveaways. It's sure to be a fun time you will not want to miss!  If you want to take a break from the crowd at AthFest, then come to Chick-fil-a Beechwood on June 18th and support Smart Lunch, Smart Kid.
