2011 Weekly Events
Week 1—Welcome Week!
(May 23rd- May 27th)
Welcome to Trinity Woods! This week we will be participating in our regular camp program while also introducing this summer’s theme, “Go Tell it on the Mountain!” We will be discussing Jesus’s Sermon on the Mount that took place on the Mount of the Beatitudes where Jesus taught us many different lessons.
Week 2
(May 30th- June 3rd)
This week we will be continuing our many great camp games such as Trinity Ball and Gaga while continue our morning devotional theme of “Go Tell it on the Mountain!” This week we will be discussing the Ten Commandments and God’s interaction with Moses on Mount Sinai. It is sure to be an exciting week!
Week 3—Group Sing
(June 6th- June 10th)
Group Sing is here! We will be starting a new tradition this year which will consist of our campers competition against each other in the Group Sing competition! Each age division in the camp will be performing a song about camp that was written to the tune of a popular song.
Our youngest campers will be singing about bug catchers to the tune of “Use Somebody” by the Kings of Leon, our middle groups will be singing about the legendary Chickenmonkey of Trinity Woods to the tune of Katy Perry’s “Firework,” and our oldest kids will be singing us a tune about feeling like a cheesestick (because of the Georgia heat!!) to the tune of “G6” by the Far East Movement. Our counselor’s and junior counselors will also face-off in their own Group Sing competition with songs about bees to the tune of “Perfect” by Pink and a wonderful song to the tune of “Viva La Vida” by Coldplay.
In addition to this wonderful week of songs we will also be discussing the story of Noah’s Ark and Mount Ararat! One of the greatest things we learn from this story is that in the same way Noah wasn’t crazy for doing what God asked him to do, we aren’t crazy because we do what God asks either! Therefore, we strive to act in Christian love toward one another at all times.
Congratulations to our oldest groups for winning Group Sing 2011 with their beautiful rendition of LIKE A CHEESESTICK!!!
Week 4—Disciples Week!
(June 13th- June 17th)
Our campers will be learning about the mountaintop experiences of Jesus’s 12 disciples this week. We will discuss the miracle of the loaves and the fishes as well as many other stories with the disciples including the Last Supper in the Upper Room and the experience on the Mount of Olives! Pastor Brighton from Mt. Calvary Lutheran Church in Warner Robins will deliver a guest devotional for us this week as well.
In addition to our learning about the disciples this week we will also be acting like disciples in our service to others this week! Each counselor has chosen a service project for their group to complete this week such as making cards, bookmarks, pot holders, collecting books, collecting coke tabs, and even a few service projects around camp.
Week 5—Christmas in June
(June 20th- June 24th)
CHRISTMAS TIME IS HERE!!! It’s Christmas time at Trinity Woods again. That’s right, it’s Christmas in June and we will be celebrating the birth of our Savior throughout the week. While we celebrate the coming of God’s Son into the world we are also celebrating the reason why he came. Therefore our devotional time each morning will be focusing on Mount Calvary, the place where Jesus was crucified and the place near where he resurrected!
In addition to our regular camp activities, we will also be enjoying our annual Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus contest, our first ever Jingle Ball dance party, and our gingerbread house making time with our groups! We are in for a great week of fun.
Week 6—12 Tribes of Israel Olympics
(June 27th- July 1st)
We will be holding our 7th Annual Olmpics!!!
Our campers will be competing in sporting events such as tug-of-war, Gaga, and our original game Trinity Ball. They will enjoy making their tribal flag as well as competing in various cheer competitions throughout the week.
The story of the twelve sons of Jacob, whom the tribes were named, can be found in the later chapters of Genesis as well as other parts of the Old Testament. Since there were twelve tribes, we will be shifting our campers around to make twelve very full and equally competitive groups. Thank you so much for your patience with these shifts.
To compliment this week's Olympics our devotional time this week will focus on Mount Bethel and the story of Jacob and Esau to go along with our 'Go Tell it on the Mountain' theme for the summer. We will wrap up our week with our OLYMPICS AWARDS on FRIDAY AT 1PM. You are invited to come and enjoy the Awards Ceremony with your child where we will name the spirit winners for the week and finally the ULTIMATE TRIBE!!!
Congratulations to all of our winners!!! A special congratulations to the tribe of Zebulun for being named this year’s Ultimate Tribe!
Week 7—World Cup
(July 5th- 8th)
Our groups will compete for points against the entire camp in order to be named the winner of the World Cup. Each group will represent a country this week and compete in various sporting activities! Tuesday will focus on Soccer, Wednesday on Baseball (our own version), Thursday will be Basketball, and Friday we will be enjoying our own camp sports.
This week we have also been continuing our devotional theme of 'Go Tell it on the Mountain' by talking about the Mount of Temptation. We are discussing the awesomeness of Jesus's response to temptation and coming to our own understanding of how we can respond to temptation in our own lives. Friday we will be summing up the pieces of the story that we have talked about each day and we'll look at the similarities between all three temptations.
Congratulations to Spain for winning the 2011 Trinity Woods World Cup!
Week 8—Festival of the Kings and the Judges
(July 11th- 15th)
This week we are celebrating our Festival of the Kings and the Judges. This is a week when we put a medieval spin on the Old Testament Kings and Judges as we participate in a Renaissance week that is sure to be a blast. Each of our groups will be divided into countries that bring with them their own ruler! Our rulers range from Cleopatra to Elizabeth I! It is a wonderful week and we will enjoy our festival this Friday where we will participate in many medieval traditions such as bobbing for apples, chess, noodle jousting and much more!
For our devotional time this week we will be discussing Mount Zion and the Kingdom of God to go along with our medieval theme for the week!
Week 9
(July 18th-July 22nd)
Depending upon our ability to pull it all together we will have an experimental approach to our program structure this week where your child will be able to set their own schedule before they arrive at camp on Monday! They will be able to select their favorite activities and we will create schedules for them to follow for the week.
Details about our devotional time for this week will be coming soon!
Week 10—COLOR WARS!!!
(July 25th- July 29th)
We will be dividing the camp into two colors for our 6th year of the Color Wars! We will have a week of spirit and competition that is hard to forget. Your campers may be in different groups than they are used to for this week but they will certainly be able to see their friends often throughout the day.
Week 11—Go Tell it on the Mountain Wrap-Up Week!
(August 1st- 5th)
We will be reviewing the various mountains that we have discussed this summer while also enjoying a wonderful week of camp activities to wrap up our summer. Our devotional time this week will review the Mountains that we have covered this summer! We will be sad to see it end.
