Camp Theme: This Wild Life
God created us to live full and beautiful lives! We are made to live free like a fish swimming in the ocean or a bird flying in the sky! Choosing to follow Jesus helps us find freedom in the midst of deep struggles and offer grace where community is lacking. Trusting Jesus can help to turn living day after ordinary day into a wild and precious life.
Our theme verse for 2016 is:
“...I came so that everyone would have life and have it in its fullest.” John 10:10b (CEV)
Bible Study
-
Wild & Precious – “Look at the birds in the sky. They don’t sow seed or harvest grain crops into barns. Yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you worth much more than they are?” Matthew 6:26 (CEB)
-
Wild & Wonderful – “...Look, I myself will be with you every day until the end of this present age.” Matthew 28:20b (CEB)
-
Wild & Free – “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:32 (CEB)
-
Wild at Heart – “I give you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, so you must also love each other.” John 13:34 (CEB)
Mission Projects
Each Bible Study Group will be assigned to mission projects each day. Mission Projects vary by location and week and may include painting, scraping, cleaning the homes and yards of senior citizens; projects with local service agencies like community food banks or Habitat for Humanity; or providing educational and recreational programs to disadvantaged children. The Bible Study Leader will oversee and direct each mission project. Group Leaders and chaperones will be assigned to a Bible Study Group for missions time and will provide oversight, discipline, and monitor safety in coordination with the Bible Study Leader.
Closed-toe shoes and shirts with sleeves (no tank tops) are required for Mission Sites. Be sure that students bring clothes and shoes that can get dirty on site. Many sites call for paint and cleaning materials that could soil or damage clothing and shoes.
Mission Offering
This summer students will learn about the Island of Bali and an arts community called Narwastu. They will hear about the work of Jonathan and Tina Bailey, who have served in Bali for twenty years working to create meaningful community through the arts. Their work extends the love of God to an international community, to children at risk living on the streets, and to people within the prison system. Campers will be invited to share an offering that will help the Baileys love this wild and wonderful part of the world.
These are Pator Meg's dear friends and this is the community she and Will worked with while they were serving as ministers in Bali!
Parties
Each evening, PASSPORTmissions will have a party with one goal: FUN.
World Wild Games Rec Party
Just in time for the 2016 Summer Olympics, Passport is hosting the World Wild Games. Not your ordinary Olympic events, these games will challenge you to use your strength, mind, and team spirit. Be prepared to get wet from head to toe! The Rec Party is held outdoors (weather permitting), and campers may want to bring an extra swimsuit, comfortable shorts, and T-shirts that can match the color of their Bible Study Group—red, black, or blue. All campers must wear closed-toe shoes. They will be allowed to remove shoes for some of the games, but we still recommend extra shoes that can get wet and dirty.
Wild, Wild West Dance
Grab your hat and your boots and let’s do some line dancing together! Games, dancing, and a photo booth will complete this outdoor dance under the lights. Groups should come dressed in their favorite plaid, hats, boots, and overalls. So grab your boots, hat, and get excited for the Wild, Wild West Dance. .
PASSPORT Choice Awards
This year we will honor the biggest names in music, movies, sports, and more. Come ready for a night filled with awards, talent, and fun. Bring your skits, songs, and any other act to the Passport Choice Awards Show. Please note that not every act can be included in the Variety Show.
