RBUMC hosting Sunrock Kids Camp, Crocodile Dock

Sunrock Kids Camp is set to host outdoor fun in the sun from July 6-7 for all elementary age children from 10 a.m. to noon.

“It is outside, in the morning and community wide, so we are calling it camp,” said Marti Redden, children’s director of Red Bank United Methodist Church.

The free event will be held under a pavilion past the Red Bank Pool behind Red Bank High School.

After camp, Redden said children can go swimming in the Red Bank Pool for a 50-cent discount.

“We would like to get to know the children in the neighborhood more,” said Redden. “We have an after-school program in the fall that we would like kids to come to.”

Redden said campers will take part in games, crafts, snacks, watch a puppet show and hear a Bible story. Recreation games will involve parachutes, foam noodles and kickball.

“We are open to any amount of children,” said Redden. “We are guessing that 50 children will come to camp.”

Redden said counselors are prepared make 100 crafts including water bottle holders and sunglasses holders made of beads and ribbon.

Campers can also enroll in Crocodile Dock Vacation Bible School, which follows the camp at Red Bank United Methodist Church.

Crocodile Dock will take place July 9 and 10 from 6:45 to 9 p.m. and July 11 from 10 from 12:30 to 3 p.m. with a 90-minute lunch break The VBS ends July 12 from 9:45 a.m. to noon at RBUMC.

Vacation Bible School participants will sing songs during the Red Bank United Methodist 11 a.m. service.

“We will build a big swamp and a dock,” said Redden. “Children will sing with Chadder the chipmunk in person. Children will make lanterns with tea lights. They will make crocodiles that pinch.”

Children, with parental permission, attending Sunrock Camp and Crocodile Dock will have the option to be picked up by the church vans. For more information, call Red Bank United Methodist at 877-2881 or visit www.redbankumc.org, click on ministry, then click on children.
