Vacation Bible School

Ten Wonderful Years!


We have decided, after TEN wonderful, creative, fun-filled, God-centered years, to retire our Imagination to Creation Creative Arts Camp. It has been a great experience singing praises to the Lord, sharing our love for art, drama, music, developing lasting friendships, and caring for others through unique mission endeavors each year.

In our ten years we have been blessed with over 500 volunteers and nearly 900 campers. Songs have filled our Fellowship Hall and laughter has been in our classrooms. Campers have imagined and created beauty in variety of creative stations from drama to painting, rhythms to mosaics, have scavenged for items in the church and on the grounds to turn one person’s trash into beauty, while learning and practicing God’s will. We thank God for this opportunity to have shared a small amount of His love and beauty with so many and we hope that those who experienced our camp will have as many wonderful memories of it as we do!

WHAT IS NEXT?

Many of you may be asking, “What is next?” In the summer of 2011, we will be taking a one summer hiatus to plan and develop something new. We want children of our community to still be able to experience the essence of Vacation Bible School: the songs, the love, the scripture, the crafts, and the friendships. Yet we understand that our world is changing. More families have two working parents which makes a daily, half-day camp a challenge. We feel God calling us in a new direction, with a new format, and a new focus that instills those same qualities we have experienced in the past of praise, love, learning, and creating and being able to meet the needs of today’s families. We don’t quite know exactly where God’s call will lead us but we look forward to the opportunity to imagine and create something wonderful with His help. Check back with us again in the fall and we will update you with some of our ideas.

SEE YOU IN THE SUMMER OF 2012!
