Summer Programs

Information about VBS (for 3 years old to kindergarten) and Day Camp with Sugar Creek Bible Camp Staff (for grades 1-5) can be found here!

Vacation Bible School 2-GO! June 15-18, 2020– (3 years old – Kindergarten) ZOOM time: 11 am – 12 pm (Link will be emailed)

Day Camp 2-GO! (with Sugar Creek Staff links) June 15-18, 2020 – (Entering 1st – 5th Grade) ZOOM time: 9 am – 10 am (Link will be emailed)

VBS/Day Camp for 2020 will look a little different.

Due to COVID 19, our traditional VBS/Day Camp at ELC, can not work the same way this year. It is very sad, but it needs to be this way to keep everyone healthy.

The GOOD news is that I am working with Sugar Creek to create an opportunity to have a Virtual Program for our Day Camp and our VBS activities will be appropriate for the 3 yr – 5 yr olds. We will email links to videos and work on ZOOM- online.

ZOOM TIMES:

9 am – 10 am (Day Camp 2-GO)

11 am – 12 pm (VBS 2-GO)

VBS 2-GO! (ages 3 – 5) I will create boxes of all the supplies needed for the crafts for the week. (Maybe some surprise items as well!) I will plan a time to connect by ZOOM – to read our story, work on the craft together, listen to a song, etc.

DAY CAMP 2-GO! (1st – 5th grade) Sugar Creek will provide a video for our ZOOM time each day, so our youth can sing songs, hear a skit/story, all created by the awesome Sugar Creek staff. Boxes will also be available for pick up for those crafts as well.

I don’t need the regular registration form for this year.

No summer registration fee is needed, although donations are accepted.

ELC FAITH CONNECTION– A new ELC Group on Facebook, ELC Faith Connection, is for everyone of all ages. Each week, we post a new challenge, such as “Post a picture of helping someone”. As the week progresses, post/share your photo on our group page, ELC FAITH CONNECTION. On Sundays, a name will be drawn from the weekly submissions. Prizes are awarded weekly – gift certificates for Mt Horeb area businesses. Contact Brenda, if you need help connecting.

Explorer Day – July 7, 2020 – Unfortunately, due to the COVID 19, Sugar Creek will not be hosting Explorer Day this summer, in order to keep everyone safe.

YouthWorks Mission Trip to Leech Lake Reservation, MN – Our trip to MN, has been cancelled for this summer. We are planning to participate with another trip in the future. (Summer 2021 or 2022)

GIVE, LOVE, SERVE (Local Mission/Service Week) – Aug 11 – 13th :
Youth in High School and Middle School are invited to participate in our GIVE, LOVE, SERVE week at ELC. Because of restrictions, we are keeping our projects in Mt Horeb this year. Please email Brenda.martin@elcmthoreb.org to receive the signup link. Opportunities to volunteer are: assemble a Madison Reading Project, make cards for shut-ins, chalk drawings for neighbors, offer our assistance with the new organization, Neighbors Helping Neighbors, and help clean up trash on the bike path.

SUMMER CAMP (SUGAR CREEK) –

In order to keep youth safe this summer, Sugar Creek has cancelled their traditional summer youth programs. However, they do have two programs to offer:
Family Getaway Camp and Camp-In-A-Backpack.

- Family Getaway Camp – They are extending ‘Family Camp’ to a 3 day experience, where families can stay in their own cabins and enjoy the wonders of Sugar Creek. (July & early August)

Camp-In-A-Backpack – By donating your child’s deposit, your child can receive a ‘Camp-In-A-Backpack’. Items in this pack contain many camp materials, such as a backpack, 5 days of Bible studies, nature activities, s’more recipes, and other great Sugar Creek items.

Deposits can be applied to Family Camp or next summer, as well. More information is located on their website, www.sugarcreekbiblecamp.org. Donations and prayers are also appreciated during this difficult time.

Any questions, please contact Brenda at brenda.martin@elcmthoreb.org
