Homeschool Summer Camp--Bible style

My sister-in-law Naomi is AWESOME! This is an understatement. Every other year she puts together a scripture camp. This year was the New Testament. This went PERFECT with last school year since that is what we studied.

To be honest though, I'm not sure if my kids even realized we studied the New Testament last year. We read New Testament stories every night they went to bed on time.....which wasn't as often as I would have liked.....but other then that, nada.

I should have made it part of devotional, but I got lazy.

I've got to change for this coming year. I'm not sure yet what I'm going to do, but I know I have to have it all planned out by the end of next week so that we actually DO IT!

Anyway, the camp was incredible. You have to dress up. This is mandatory.


We started out the camp with a talent show. Hyrum really loved that. He sang a song and did interpretative dance moves while I sang. No joke. His dance was the highlight of the night.


We also had plenty of workshops where we learned more about the Saviour's life and teachings:


And had good food, a camp store (with fake money you earned throughout,) simulations where we acted out scripture, campfires, and a good ol' time!
