Re: Summer Camp help needed

[Guest guest]

So, what is everybody doing for summer camp for their kids? What are the best

and most affordable options? I am at a loss, I need to put THREE children in

camp for the entire summer and can't afford what most camps cost. Any

suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi B,

Do you know what week during summer Joy Ministry of First Methodist Houston

Westchester summer camp is offered? Another church having a one week summer

camp is Tallowood Baptist Church.

Grace Presbyterian Church, Memorial Drive United Methodist Church, Memorial

Drive Presbyterian Church, Tallowood Baptist Church, First United Methodist

Church-Westchase, and Chapelwood United Methodist Church team up to provide a

week for children with special needs. Activities include games, recreation,

cooking, arts and crafts, Bible lessons and stories, music and a field trip.

This summer the camp will be held at Tallowood Baptist Church at 555

Tallowood Drive for children ages 4 and up with special needs. Siblings in

4-5th

grade are welcomed and can participate as helpers. Registered nurse

present at all times. Last year this camp was held at Memorial Drive

Presbyterian

Church and my son attended. He had a great time and he loved all the

attention he got from the volunteers. I think the ratio was something like 2:1,

that

is 2 volunteers to one child. I think the camp was the 4th week in July last

summer but I haven't heard when Tallowood's camp will be held yet.

Cost: $100 per child (max of $150 per family), my son brought home a craft

project everyday, he received a t-shirt, a canvas tote and Bible story

activities. He still plays with the beach scene " snow-globe " he made at camp. I

just

had to pack his lunch daily for him to take.

Have a summer camp idea. Check out art classes for

special needs kids at ARt Mix on West Alabama. Their

website is www.artmixlearning.com and we used them

last summer and fall and were very pleased with the

staff. Very professional, very calm, accomodating, and

my hyperactive child actually produced some art and

ended with a love for art, painting, drawing, glueing,

etc. For further questions, I would suggest calling

Jacquelyn, the owner. She taught special ed and is

very committed to what our children need.

The Joy Ministry of First Methodist Houston Westchester is offering a

summer camp every year for differently abled children and their

siblings. It's called the JOY camp and run by Sterling

() or tsterling@.... My kids have never

participated but I know of one family here on this board that loves

them.

Here's the flier that I received:

Beach Party: Surfin' Through the Scriptures

Let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action.

1 3:18

Our JOY Summer Camp 2008 takes your kids (JOY kids/youth and their

siblings) on an exciting journey to the ocean where they will learn

the basics of surfing, ride the wave of God's love, and go home with

a new Beach-Be Attitude!

Having a Beach Be-Attitude means being obedient, kind, forgiving,

bold, and believing. Our annual JOY Summer Camp will have cool beach

music reminiscent of the Beach Boys, and a Surf 'n' Sand Science Lab

that will keep your kids engaged and mesmerized with easy-to-do

activities that bring home that day's Bible teaching and Be-Attitude.

Day to Day Lessons:

Day One: Be Obedient

Bible Story: The Call of Gideon (Judges 6:14-15; 6:36-7:21)

Bible Verse: Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and you shall

be my people. – 7:23

Day Two: Be Kind

Bible Story: 's Kindness to Mephibosheth (2 9:1-11)

Bible Verse: As God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe

yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and

patience. – Colossians 3:12

Day Three: Be Forgiving

Bible Story: The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant ( 18:21-

33)

Bible Verse: And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving

one another, as God in Christ has forgiven you. – Ephesians 4:32

Day Four: Be Bold

Bible Story: A Woman Healed (Luke 8:40-48)

Bible Verse: And this is the boldness we have in him, that if we

ask anything according to his will, he hears us. – 1 5:14

Day Five: Believe

Bible Story: Jesus and ( 20:24-29)

Bible Verse:

Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe. –

20:29b

Does anyone have any ideas about what's going on in Austin for teens

this summer? There seems to be camps for the under 12 set-- how about

15-16 yr olds? Or, any contacts with someone who would let us pay for

time in either music studios or theater for technical skills?

Thanks,

K2 academy of kids sports on Louetta near Eldrige and Grant offered an

integrated gymnastics camp last year. The kids did not have to be

potty trained and were supported by a " shadow " to help them transition,

follow instructions, etc. You can reach through their website
