Exciting Stuff Happening With our Christian Education!

Every year our Christian Education program has a theme to which it caters its activities around.  This year’s theme, peace, has been a hit! Our take home project is particularly special this year as well.  This past year camp tore down the two cabins in the ball field (H-11 and H-12). In it’s place now stands the Ginger Box which is used for staff housing.  The two ball field cabins were significant because they were two of the original cabins constructed at camp.  During their demolition the shingles were carefully taken off and are now being recycled for the Christian Education take home craft!  Each camper is given a shingle and they have the option to decorate it however they see fit. They are provided with markers and have the option to wood burn whatever they see fit.  They are given a piece of camp to commemorate the peace that they have found at camp! 

Another popular CE activity is card making with Doreen! This is a classic CE activity that has been offered for years.  Doreen has been a vital part of the Arrowhead community for longer than almost all staff members have been alive! Doreen brings in her stamp collection and the groups make cards that turn out outstanding!


Another popular activity this summer is peace flag making.  Counselors have the campers reflect on what peace means to them then have them draw a picture that represents that on their flag! No two flags are alike yet all are awesome.  Once they are completed they are hung in the chapel for everyone to see and they remain there for the remainder of the summer.

All in all there are some pretty special activities to celebrate the summer’s theme of peace.

Peace!
