COS Kids Camp - Our Beautiful Little Planet
June 18-21
We had a total of 22 kids who participated in Kids Camp this year. Several of our families were out of town for the week which made for a lighter attendance. However, the fun and learning were not diminished! Our Beautiful Little Planet program focused on ecology and Creation Care; we learned about protecting our water sources, recycling, reusing by shopping at thrift stores, and saving energy. Thank you to all who helped make it happen!
