2015 Ensenada Mexico Outreach Kids Camp The day started early for the volunteers in charge of cleaning up the park at 6:20 a.m. and they did a great job despite the cold and the morning breeze.
The kids started to arrive at the park at 6:40, and five minutes later was time to register. Everyone was looking very excited, expecting a wonderful day. The boys were playing soccer and running everywhere waiting for the pool time, and the girls were looking for a team’s name.
Then, everyone put their camp shirts on and teachers proceeded to meet the kids on their teams and introduce themselves so they could begin the activities and make some crafts. You could also see that some of the leaders where young but enthusiastic.
Before the authorities were presented, some girls were singing “Queremos ver.” When they were ready to start their activities, the leaders explained some points and gave some indications. Then we prayed and you could see the kids bowing their heads.
At 8:30 a.m. they were ready to take their breakfast, which was scrambled eggs and beans. Most of the kids were very happy because they really liked it.
Every team got an hour on each activity so everyone could enjoy the activities planned for them.
The girls were making beautiful crafts, coloring, decorating a little handmade book with stickers, images, and verses while listening to a beautiful lesson about God’s love.
The lesson was about God’s love and his provision. The teachers were doing a really great job because kids were paying attention and participating. They made the lesson very interesting by using examples easy to understand for the kids, and they gave the kids some advices.
The leader made some questions to the girls, and they answer very accretive. After that, the girls from 7 to 9 were doing some crafts, and from 10 to 11 were learning about God’s everlasting love while the boys from 10 to 11 were playing in the pool. Each team learned how to work as a team in an obstacles race. It was awesome to see them working as a team, they were quite happy.
After all that fun, it was time for lunch which was teriyaki chicken and rice followed by some free time to rest and let the food settle.
During the sports activity, some of the teams played volleyball and basketball while their leaders cheered them. The team of “Los Xolos” was playing a Mexican game.
While they were waiting for dinner, the kids were playing, dancing, and creating songs about how cool their team was.
For dinner the volunteers in charge of the food served some delicious hot dogs.
At the end, four volunteers dressed up as clowns to explain in a fun but simple way how God can make us clean. After the kids answered a couple of questions, 10 of them accepted Jesus as their savior.
We asked one of the leaders about their opinion on this camp: “They have fantastic activities. I like the fact that they put God at the beginning and the end of this day and that we God the place He deserves. The organization was good and camp was very fun. The girls were so nice and good listeners.”
When it was time to go, the kids were tired but extremely happy that they got to spend an entire day having day while learning about God and how amazing His love is.
