EMUSJ Children Camp 2009

As a practical student in my year end ministry, attending the Children camp in EMUSJ was one of my ministry in the church. It was a 3 days and 2 night’s camp in church. The Sunday school superintendent approached me 2 weeks ago! And asked me whether i could be the teacher for one of the group for the children camp. This is the first time that i was involved in the children ministry's children's camp. I thought that it will be a good experience for me to learn! Initially there were only 4 groups but because the number increased in the registration they had to add another group which was my group! i was given only 1 week to prepare for it, was given a children dance DVD and i need to choose one dance to teach the children in my group. The theme for the children camp was "I am the best" and my group name was "wipe, wipe, wipe" (in Mandarin)

The camp main language was in Chinese... my group we used both English and Chinese to communicate. I had 2 helper and another teacher to help me out in teaching and guiding the group! on the first day, Friday 4th Dec, we had to come out with our own slogan cheer and clap for the group, that was not an easy task because i wanted it to be in Chinese and with my half pail full water in Chinese this was not an easy job, but i thanked God that one aunty came and helped my group out and created the cheer and clap. During the duration of the camp, i was requested to sleep in the church with the boys. They were so hyper-active that the boys went to bed at about 1am and they woke up at 4am! i couldn't believe it.... don the children ever sleep? there are 2 boys who did not sleep at all... they were walking in and out of the room... jumping and just walking... one of them gave a reason that he drank coffee so couldn't sleep!??? so i slept for only 2 hours that night!!! there was another uncle what was also sleeping together with the boys! he too did not have a good sleep! woke up with his eyes red!

Goodies for the children as marks for the camp!

Before all arrive!

A total of 61 children

Making their own name card!

Creating our slogan cheer: morning wipe window, afternoon wipe table, evening wipe chair, everything i wipe myself, do not let kakak wipe, I am the best!

Group game! mind teaser!

The next day, Saturday, was a busy and packed day for the children and the teachers! there was 2 story telling by the speaker "You are special by Max Lucado" and "Lulu the carefree Zebra" haha.... nice story to tell the children! the meals for lunch and dinner was prepared by the children! they really have a nice time cooking! as teacher i do not know how to help in this area but i have helpers to teach them how to cook! especially when they are using the knife to cut the onion and garlic! have to tell them to be careful of the knife! some of us teacher wouldn't last the whole day so we were given 1 hour to rest! but i just had only 30 mins! because during the rest the children are doing the chicken dance.... haha..... for dinner, the children have to go out to the nearby supermarket to get their ingredients for dinner! i think they had a good time shopping and then went back to church to cook dinner! i had a better rest that night better than the first night!

Morning exercise! everyone wants to be kung fu fighting! HA! HO!

Preparing lunch! cutting onions! be careful with the knife!

Cooking!

Our lunch! its good!

My group with our lunch! hehe....

Teaching the dance!

What are they doing?

Can u guess?

yeah! the chicken dance!

Shopping for dinner!

Hey! i also need to learn how to cook wan!

future chefs!

She is enjoying what she cooked!

interpreting the story of Lulu the carefree zebra!

the night ends with treasure hunt for 17 pieces of memory verse that we need to arrange together and memorize!

Sunday, the last day! i was rushing the children to practice the dance and there was a drama about "you are special" that we need to present! so the hard part was to call all of them to come and sit still just to listen to us as we teach! i have to shout and catch one of the boy in my group to make sure he sit still... the children in my group was also quite young! but the group leader helped me a lot as to organize everything! i couldn't do much anyway because i have only 2 days to teach and train them in the dance and drama!!! the end of the camp, parents were invited to come and join the children as every group presents their slogan cheer, 爱的鼓励, the dance and the drama.

Our dance presentation!

It was really an exhausting camp especially dealing with children. It was a good experience and i should say it was fun for the children but tiresome! at the end... my group got the best team work effort! haha.....
