Kids Camp 2013

So Whited Bible Camps has opened for the Summer of 2013 and have already gone through week 1!! How is this possible? Kids Camp came and went so fast! BUT it was a great week, despite what the weather bugs/apps on our phones said it was going to be like, we started registration out in the rain and ended up with a pretty HOT week... Registration started slow at first, usually at 1pm everyone is lined up and out the tabernacle entrance waiting for us to start... but instead we were sitting waiting for our pre-registered campers to show up... finally 2pm hit and they started coming in. We ended the day with 60 campers... a little lower than what we have been used to in the past but still manageable and we had the ability to have a more 1 on 1 approach.

This year started differently by way of staffing as well... our long time Activities Directors Gene and Bethany Collins moved out of state and were not going to be with us, so we looked for the first time in a long time for new Activities Director... Well Kids week, we were able to use Renee Watters for Christian Ridge Church in Ellsworth, ME, who usually comes up and helps us for the week.  She stepped in and did an excellent job. She had the kids participating in all kinds of different activities, from a game with shaving cream and cheeseballs, to waterballoons, to watermelon scavenger hunts... The Kids also had a blast swimming and paddleboating, learning scripture and competing in Bible Quiz...

Services were to be as expected as only one can expect at Whited Bible Camp. Pastors Bryant and Holly Markie did a fabulous job teaching Gods word in a unique way just for the kids... everyone always enjoys seeing Nellie Knowledge, Professor Brain Cramp and Sir Fix A Lot and of course the favorite - MELVIN. And who doesn't like the chance to get up and out of their seat so they can dance to "Superhero" and "Happy Day"  and the others that I need to find the titles to. :)

Campers of the Year for Kids week were : Acadia Reece from Corinth, ME and Cameron Sturgis from Auburn, Me. They both received a $25 gift card to Walmart and a FREE week at WBC 2014.

Our Staff and Counselors of the Year for Kids week were, Victoria Holmes of Houlton, Me, Austen Young of Stafford Springs, Keisha Wilson from Corinth, Me and Andrew McLaughlin of Perham, Me.

All in All it was an awesome week, that I'm sure many of us were disappointed to see end all too soon, but am also sure there are many little kids already counting down the days till Kids Week 2014!!!!
