camp noah - a typical day

i thought it might be nice to let all of you know what a typical day was for camp noah!

6:30am – wake up… this is either by hearing everyone rustling around or having mister joe poke your shoulder with one finger and saying “tom, wake up.”

6:40am – shower. this is quite possibly the most scary part of the day. for those of you who have seen the “saw” movies, this shower is DIRECTLY from the movie. it’s in an old locker room in a building behind the place we’re staying. we need to walk to the door via crate flats thru the mud. two days it’s pouring rain while we’re going to the shower.

7:10am – leave for the church, maybe stop at mc’ds on the way.

7:20am – get to the church and start to set-up my room for the day.

7:50am – leave to pick up mister mark’s and my kids from their home.

9:00am – camp noah starts.

9:45am – first session w/ my kids. this lesson is the bible lesson, discussion about the hurricanes in relation to the story, and maybe journal time.

10:30am – snacks and games.

11:00am – second session w/ my kids when we do crafts and anything else discussion-wise.

12:00pm – lunch and games.

12:45pm – third session w/ my kids. this one is mostly clean-up of the morning, anything we didn’t get to complete. also some crafts if mister tom has come up with something.

2:00pm – fourth session w/ my kids. talk, journal, and general game time.
