Join us for our 3rd annual Recreation VBS facilitated by several Oakland Presbyterian Churches. This year we're camping in Rockridge and North Oakland!
Our theme for the week is learning to listen for God, each other and the needs of creation. Plus each day has a fun theme like crazy hair day, Face Painting and Water Play!
We'll wrestle with our theme of listening through fun, visual arts, community service, Bible stories and games.
Each morning we gather for games, music and a story about a child hearing God's voice.
We then head into our art group, divided by age, to learn new skills and have fun while wrestling with our theme of God speaking to children. Our art time is being led this year by local artists who are both old and new friends: Stephens, Angie and Ms. Leonardo.
Lunch is a time for rest, regrouping and games. And it's provided at camp. So no need for your parents to make lunch in the morning!
Our afternoons will be filled with exploration of Rockridge
and community service in North Oakland.
Thursday will be a day at Frog Park.
Friday we'll work together to prepare, serve and host the free weekly Friday Night Dinner at College Avenue Church, served to the hungry of Oakland from 6-7pm. We'll follow up our service with an art gallery exhibition at which we'll expose our art creations for our families from 7-8pm. It's a great time and way to celebrate the end of the week, our accomplishments and to reconnect with old friends and new ones!
