What a wonderful final three days of Vacation Bible School!
On Wednesday, our “Wild Wonder” theme focused on insects. Amy from Valhalla Bee Farm taught us all about honeybees and how hives operate. In science, campers learned how bees use a special “dance” to communicate when they’ve found pollen and nectar. In crafts, they learned about different kinds of insects and made bug bookmarks.
On Thursday, we explored birds and mammals. Mark from the Audubon Society helped campers learn about mammals native to Lancaster County, and they even got to see and touch animal pelts! In science, campers dissected barn owl pellets and discovered bones that showed what the owls had eaten. In crafts, they created animal masks inspired by the mammals they learned about.
Friday wrapped up the week with a special performance for parents and guardians, followed by snacks, treats and a chance to celebrate all the learning, laughter and wonder shared throughout the week.
We give thanks for the children, families, leaders and volunteers who made “Wild Wonder” such a meaningful week of discovering God’s good creation!
