Princess Camp 2011

Princess Camp is one of three themed camps that my sister (Ann), myself, and friend, Kari Klaserner are taking turns hosting this summer for our daughters. Ann dreamed up the idea of Princess Camp and it has been the most wonderful week! There are five girls total and they memorize a Bible verse, work on crafts that pertain to the theme, and have lessons and Bible stories that apply to ages 2-5. Camp only lasts an hour and a half and is for three days with a field trip on the fourth day. The other two camps coming this summer are "Service Camp" hosted by me:) and then "Water Camp" hosted by Kari. The adults are having a blast and I think the girls are too!

The theme verse for the week was the following:

Beauty should not come from necklaces, clothes, or makeup. Instead, it should come from your heart. 1 Peter 3:3-4

Each of the girls said the verse by memory... what a great verse to plant in their hearts at such a young age.

 Auntie Ann teaching them their verse:)

 Zoe holding up her door hanger that says "what's in the heart is the most important part." She put on ruby red lipstick and kissed the inside of the heart! Precious!

 Each of the girls dressed up as princesses!

 Zoe sporting her shades. They were told to wear sunglasses and it represented how we see things differently when we have sunglasses on... similar to the concept of how God sees us differently by viewing what's in our heart, not what's on the outside!

 The campers made princess wands as a craft this week! So cute!

 Zoe painting her 'princess hat' that she will wear for the princess parade!!

 We had a princess parade the last day of princess camp! The barrels that they rode on were adorned with inner beauty qualities.

 They wore their tutus and princess hats they created and they waved their princess wands that they made!

 What a perfect ending to princess camp!
