EAST END
UNITED METHODIST CHURCH
The East End United Methodist Church Compassion Camp (VBS) camper registration is open and ready for you! Compassion Camp will be held on July 25-28 from 6:00-7:30PM at Aldersgate United Methodist Church. This event is open to all children who are 4 years (by June 1) to rising 5th grade.
At Compassion Camp, children will discover, experience and explore God’s love and grace and what it means to have compassion and empathy for others, the world and themselves. We hope for children to enjoy hearing stories from the Bible while they grow and learn about how our faith in God forms our lives as people filled with compassion and care. Children will enjoy skits, music, crafts, games and movement as they make friends and memories together!
VBS is FREE for all children of the community. If you would like to contribute to help make VBS possible you can sign up to serve as a volunteer below. By signing up to serve, you make it possible for more children in our community to enjoy this experience.
IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER
- Please feed your child dinner before arriving at Compassion Camp. Dinner will not be served.
- Be sure to send your child with clothing they can play, move in and get dirty. Compassion Camp is filled with fun, engaging and messy activities! Comfortable, closed toe shoes are recommended.
- Children should arrive with bug spray already applied. We will spend a good amount of time outdoors in the evening. Please send your child prepared with bug spray on.
SAFETY
- Please be sure to indicate any food allergies your child has on the registration form. We will take these seriously as we prepare and plan all snacks. Compassion Camp is a nut-free camp. No nuts will be served in snacks provided by EEUMC.
- Safety is our priority. All Compassion Camp leaders will be background checked and trained before interacting with campers.
COVID-19 PROTOCOLS
Our team is carefully watching the status of the COVID-19 pandemic. Out of an abundance of caution and a continued changing world, we will evaluate our safety protocols at the beginning of July and contact all registered families once those decisions are made.
