Summer Camp 2014 at Shepherd’s Flock
Session #1: “Pirate’s and Princesses”
*Students entering 3 yr old
preschool – students entering Kindergarten*
MWF - May 19, 21, and 23
9:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.
Calling
all Pirates and Princesses! Our
imaginations will be flowing at
Shepherd’s
Flock as we discover all about the fantastical world of Pirates and Princesses! We will be building a castle fit for a
princess and a pirate ship that can sail the high seas, all with the help of
our campers! Come dressed in special
pirate or princess attire if you have it, but don’t worry if you don’t, we will
be creating costumes and adding to the ones we already have.
Manners
are important for both pirates and princesses and that is something that we
will also focus on this week. We will
learn what good manners are, why they are important, and how to put them into
practice! Please and Thank You ARE the
magic words!
We
will also be doing some searching for treasure!
What pirate or princess could resist GOLD?! We will follow a treasure
map, dig up the special treasure, and split it among our friends… after all
sharing does show us good manners!
Session #2: “Messy, Messy Crafts”
*Students entering 3 yr old preschool
– students entering Second Grade*
MWF – June 9, 11, and 13
9:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.
All
bets are off when it comes to being clean at this Shepherd’s Flock Summer
Camp! We are going to be making goop to
experiment with, painting with lots of different materials and using lots of
different textures, and using homemade clay to create a perfect sculpture. We will be mixing glue and using paint to
create several different colors… and experiment to see what colors can combine
to make our favorite color!
Art
is awesome when it’s messy, goopy, and loads of fun that we can share with
friends. We will be working on a large
group project to help us learn how to work together, share, and show our
different skills. With this cooperative
learning project, Campers will be proud to display all that they have done with
this group venture.
Of
course, at the end of this Camp we will have to have our 2nd Annual
Shepherd’s Flock Art Show, complete with all of our weeks displayed artwork and
snacks. Invite your friends and
relatives to come and see what wonderful things that we created! Our 2nd Annual Art show will be
held on Friday, June 13 at 11:30 am.
Mark your calendar!

Don’t miss the boat for the Gangway to
Galilee, Shepherd of Peace’s VBS about Amazing Grace Adventures! Your children
will learn five accounts of Jesus’ ministry, on and around the Sea of Galilee.
Crowds of thousands were captivated then, as we are anchored today, by His
Word. God Himself is present in His Word, now and forever! Now that’s amazing grace!
We will have crafts, outside games,
bible stories, bible challenge and memory work, fun snacks, and catchy music all
week long to help us learn that God’s word is life! (Please fill out the VBS permission slip and

fireworks, to shakers for Summer Parades, we will have a fantastic time using
our talents to make fun American things!
We
will also be learning about our country at this Shepherd’s Flock Summer Camp….
What wonderful things can we find in all the states of America?! We will travel the country, from the comfort
of our preschool to see all the sights of our great nation! We will also create some all American favorite
snacks to eat… Hot dogs, apple pies, and red, white, and blue treats!
At
the end of the week we will have a parade, complete with hats, noise makers,
shakers, and even a float that we will decorate ourselves! Come at 11:30 am on Friday, July 18th to see
our parade in the church parking lot and cheer us on celebrating America the
beautiful! (Please note that this float
will be used for the Braidwood Summerfest Parade and your child is more than
welcome to ride with us in it!! Sign up

*Students entering 3 yr old
preschool – students entering Second Grade*
MWF – July 21, 23, and 25
9:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.
Summertime is the perfect time to curl
up with a good book, and in this camp that is exactly what we are going to be
doing…. But we will be doing even more!! Each day we will take several books
from our favorite authors like Eric Carle, Margaret Wise Brown, Shel
Silverstein, Laura Numeroff, Robert McCloskey, and many more! We will compare similar books to see what
things are the same, what are different, and even what our favorite parts are!
We will also be doing sequencing, crafts
to go along with the books, acting out the stories (one of our favorite things
to do!) and on the last day, the students will be helping write our first
Shepherd’s Flock book together! We will work together and create a fun book
around a theme and even create illustrations.
Maybe one day we will be famous authors!
