What can kids expect to learn other than their favorite skills?
Kids are going to learn from a character in the Bible who understood ALL about the Roller Coaster Life. He didn’t ride a roller coaster, but his life was like one! His name was Elijah!
Roller coasters can be fun with all the twists, turns, ups, and downs – they can be very entertaining. However, it’s not always good when LIFE is like a roller coaster. One day you are riding HIGH – everything is going great. Then, suddenly something terrible happens and you find yourself going from the highest high to the lowest low. Elijah knew all about going UP and DOWN and UP and DOWN in life. Throughout the whole experience, God proved himself to be faithful. Kids will walk through Elijah’s “Roller Coaster Life” and learn from some of his most incredible experiences that God was faithful in every moment of his life.
What else happens at First Kids Skills Camp?
Kids are moving all day! Each skill session lasts 40 minutes. Kids will participate in their chosen skills in the same order each day. Between each session there will be time for snacks, water breaks, and games. There will be incentive prizes, funny skits, lesson videos, worship songs, and time for discussion among age groups.
Kids will come away from this camp excited about what they have learned and what God is preparing them to do. Is your child interested in any of the skills listed above? Sign them up today for First Kids Skills Camp at First Roanoke!
