Camps (Invention and Music)

We let Ben choose a couple of camps this summer in addition to attending Kids Klub.  He decided that he would try Camp Invention and Music Camp at our church.  Camp Invention was first.  It was a success and he really enjoyed the problem solving and creating aspects.  He did come home and tell us that he thought it would be more building with real tools.  They mostly repurposed parts of old appliances and upcycled things.  That was cool, but where was the saw and hammer?  So we will be doing more building workshops at Lowe’s and Home Depot in the near future.  Music Camp was themed around Noah this year.  The kids spent five days learning bible stories, playing games, doing crafts and most importantly learning songs for the performance at the end of the week.  Ben was tired and uninterested by the end of the week and chose to watch himself on the projection screen at church above the stage.  He would wave as the camera came near him and lean so he would be in various shots.  Oh boy…….. He knew a couple of songs and motions, but told us that he really just “didn’t enjoy singing”.  Guess we will adjust next summer.  LOL
