Once again, West End Baptist is offering a Bible-based creative arts camp, entitled, "Creative Missions." Camp will begin on Monday, June 12th and continue through Wednesday, June 14th.
Children who have completed Kindergarten and older children who have completed 5th grade are eligible and will be able to choose creative arts tracks for the camp. They will select from painting, woodworking, paper making/paper crafts and gardening. Fuller track descriptions are given below.
Evenings will begin with a child appropriate Bible study. After Bible study, the children will go to one of the two tracks they have selected. After the period for the first track ends, they will participate in a brief snack period, then go to their other track followed by closing. We will end on Wednesday night with a slightly different schedule.
Pre-registration is required. Early registration gives your child the best possibility of selecting their preferred track. When you arrive with your child(ren) for the first day they attend, you will be asked to pay a $5.00 registration fee for each child. The fee does not begin to cover the cost of the camp, but we hope it will encourage you and your child to take seriously the agreement you sign when you register and to participate faithfully throughout the camp.
The paragraphs at the bottom of this page give you opportunity to preview the Parent's Consent and the Campers and Parents Pledge you will be asked to sign. We look forward to sharing with your child(ren) the creativity of our gloriously creative God through these hands-on experiences with art and Bible study.
Here are the tracks with fuller descriptions:
Painting: Learn how to use the artists' tools to create a painted work of art. Some very talented folks will help you learn to see and reproduce the beauty you see all around you.
Woodworking: Use wood to build an interesting craft. You'll have a craft to use or share by the end of camp.
Papermaking/Paper crafts: You will create paper from natural fibers and use paper to craft a useful item.
Gardening: Learn basic gardening skills from a master gardener!

Campers’ Pledge
Campers and Parents:
We understand that for every Camper to have the most fun, it is important that everyone attending the Creative Arts Camp participates fully and with a good spirit. Therefore, we agree to the following pledge as shown by our signatures:
I (the Camper) will participate fully in each activity.
I will show respect for Instructors and Leaders, other Campers, myself, and the building and materials around me.
Should there be any misunderstanding between myself and another Camper, I will first try to work it out with that person. If I need help, I will talk to a camp Leader or Instructor.
If I am unable or unwilling to participate in a safe and constructive manner, my parents/guardians and I fully understand that they will be contacted, and I will be sent home from camp. The Creative Arts Bible Camp will not be able to refund the camp fee if I should be sent home for reasons of non-compliance or disruptive or unsafe behavior.
