CHILDREN ENJOYED getting back to nature at Day Camps held all over the state in the July school holidays.
Numerous presbyteries and congregations helped primary school aged children get back to basics and learn about God in Caboolture, Moggill, Oxley, and Samford to name a few. Many of these were hosted through a joint effort from local churches.
Cleveland Uniting Church members headed west to attend the Central Burnett Day Camp.
Youth worker Rev Beth Nicholls said the “Go West” team enjoyed “abundant country hospitality, whilst spreading the good news of a mighty God at Day Camp where 90 excited youngsters came along and thoroughly enjoyed themselves”.
The Moggill Karana Day Camp, west of Brisbane, was the largest in its long history.
Camper Mitch from Moggill said he enjoyed canoeing and playing with the giant earth ball.
Team helper Kurtis Strangman has been attending Day Camp since he was in Year one. He said after eight Day Camps it was the kids that kept him going back for more. “They are great fun!”
Liam Megizil of Pullenvale said he liked having fun outdoors and getting muddy.
“The only bad thing is that you freeze a bit after.
“I like working on the gunya and it is really fun at the assemblies when we sing.”
