Kids are seeing the water, earth, air and fire as sacred
Local Youth are hired to rule
Traveling Summer I)ay (:amp in
Many United Church Communities
with a Message of caring for the
earth.
Children are fantastic teachers,
When they care about something
they tell others. Instilling a sense of
awe and appreciation for the natu-
ral elements of air, water, earth and
fire, will generate positive results.
The lluron-Perth United Church
Traveling Summer 1)ay Camp
hopes that after a week at their day
camp, the children who
attend will be advocates for
healthy living. Lindy Mancroft and
Jenna I4eierling the young adult
coordinators for this program are
calling this year's camp, "Our BIG
Green Planet" and they want to
emphasize the sacredness of water,
air, fire and earth.'Ihey understand
that those who are children today
will inherit a world facing more
widespread and complex ecologi-
cal challenges than any of their
ancestors did.
As leaders they will help camp-
ers aged 4-12 tackle these chal-
lenges with creativity, exploration
and concrete experience. "'This is a
spiritual issue as well': says Beier -
ling, "we want to explore how our
spiritual lives connect to all of the
earth,"
Beyond the important environ-
mental theme, The 'Traveling
Summer Day (amp gives full lime
employment to six youth from our
rural communities. 'There are team
teams that work in eight United
Churches...along with 411 teen vol
unteers to offer a program of crafts,
science, games and music. The
small rural church is alive with
youth when the camp sets up in
their community. Lindy Bancroft,
entering her second year on staff
explains, "1 think it's important for
kids to realize that church is fun
and exciting, and God is with then)
in all aspects of their lives. Each
activity that we do with the
kids excites thele! As for a job, it
is honestly the hest! !low many
people can say that they play with
kids for a job?" This day camp is a
half day, Monday -Friday program
for children 4-12 years of age. Reg-
istration is advised and partici-
pants are encouraged to contact
the church nearest then) to attend.
Our BIG Green Planet, Traveling

dren are welcome. If you are 13-15
