awe and appreciation for the natural
elements of air, water, earth and fire,
will generate positive results.
The Huron-Perth United Church
Travelling summer day camp hopes
that after a week at their day camp,
the children who attend will be
advocates for healthy living. Lindy
Bancroft and Jenna Beierling the
young adult co-ordinators for this
program are calling this year’s camp“Our BIG Green Planet” and theywant to emphasize the sacredness of
water, air, fire and earth. They
understand that those who are
children today will inherit a world
facing more widespread and
complex ecological challenges than
any of their ancestors did. As leaders
they will help campers aged four to
12 tackle these challenges with
creativity, exploration and concrete
experience. “This is a spiritual issue
as well”, says Beierling, “we wantto explore how our spiritual livesconnect to all of the earth.”
Beyond the important
environmental theme, The
Travelling Summer Day Camp gives
full time employment to six youth
from our rural communities. There
are two teams that work in eight
United Churches...along with 40
teen volunteers to offer a program of
crafts, science, games and music.
The small rural church is alive with
youth when the camp sets up in theircommunity. Lindy Bancroft, entering her
second year on staff explains, “I
think it's important for kids to realize
that church is fun and exciting, and
God is with them in all aspects of
their lives. Each activity that we do
with the kids excites them! As for a
job, it is honestly the best! How
many people can say that they play
with kids for a job?”
This camp is a half-day, Monday-
Friday program for children four to12 years of age. Registration isadvised and participants are
encouraged to contact the church
nearest them to attend.

summer day camp, 2013 will run in

Main Street United - Mitchell,
