All Creatures Great and Small
Ask the animals, and they will teach you;
The birds of the air, and they will tell you;
Ask the plants of the earth, and they will teach you;
And the fish of the sea will declare to you.
Who among all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this?
In his hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of every human being.
Job 12:7-10
Eureka Christian Church is pleased to announce the return of “Discovery Day Camp” for children and youth ages 4 through just-completed 8th grade. This fun week of VBS-style learning activities, crafts, and singing will take place June 3-6 at the Wuethrich Farm near Carlock.
Each day begins at 9:00 a.m. at the farm. Our Pre-K children will go home before lunch at 11:00 a.m.
Students who have completed kindergarten through 8th grade will stay for lunch and then head off for a different field trip destination each day. Their program ends at 3:00 p.m. each afternoon.
Our focus this year is “All Creatures Great and Small,” and each day will feature…yes, you guessed it…one of God’s glorious creatures!
On Monday, we will explore the “Buzz about Bees”; the afternoon field trip will include an overview of beekeeping in the farm fields. On Tuesday, we will be “Down on the Farm,” visiting the Wettstein’s Farm in the afternoon. Wednesday will find us learning all about “Worm Wonders,” and we will travel to the church to meet our very own worm colony in the afternoon. And we will finish out the week with “Healing Horses,” which will include a tour at Central Illinois Riding Therapy in the afternoon.
All children and youth need to wear closed-toed shoes and bring a water bottle. Kindergarten, elementary and middle school participants also need to bring a sack lunch each day.
Cost is $15 per child, with a $40 family maximum. Friends and extended family are welcome. Please fill out the registration form and return it with payment to Eureka Christian Church (302 S. Main, Eureka, Illinois 61530) by Monday, May 20.
