We had a wonderful week of fun, fellowship, and God’s love at Camp Kilimanjaro VBS! From July 13th-16th we hosted approximately 16 children who participated in singing fun songs and learning Proverbs. The children had science experiments in areas such as hearing, tasting and touch. They made creative crafts and played trust building games.
On Wednesday the children all participated in the Downtown Hampton Lunch Program by packing bagged lunches of ham and cheese sandwiches, fruit, cookies and chips for the less fortunate in our neighborhood. Our outreach was a huge success this year: we collected 4 boxes of canned foods for HELP, a huge bag of towels, 2 boxes of dog and cat food for the Peninsula SPCA and several warm coats for the YMCA.
Overall, it was a week full of fun and excitement! I would like to thank all of the wonderful volunteers, adult and teen, who made this week a great success!
