OVERVIEW OF THE SENIOR KIDS CAMP

A. Description The Senior Kids Camp is the formal entry point of children (ages 9 to 12) of Couples for Christ (CFC) members to the CFC Kids for Christ (KFC). This is a two day live-in camp usually conducted during summer. It is an experience where the kids can have fun, and at the same time hear and see the Word of God being proclaimed by the CFC Youth for Christ (YFC) servants in ways that they can appreciate. It is in this camp where the Senior Kids experience God proclaimed by their YFC brothers and sisters who were just like them a few years ago, and who they can now look up to as models. In this Camp, they can make friends as they play games, share experiences, and entertain one another in a wholesome Christian environment. Here, they can discover and be encouraged to develop their gifts and potential for leadership as they are exposed to their peers and to the youth who are actively serving them as speakers, facilitators, games coordinators, and others. B. Goals The objectives of this Camp are as follows: 1. To introduce Jesus to the kids, making them realize that God has a special place for them in His heart, and that He loves them very much even if they are still very young. 2. To enable the kids to respond to Gods love through a healthy and fun environment of prayers, songs, activities and fellowship among peers and friends. 3. To give them a sense of identity as members of CFC Kids for Christ where they can share and expect Christian love, unity, and support from one another. 4. To expose them to their older brothers and sisters in YFC, joyfully using their talents to serve them, inspiring them to look forward to joining CFC Youth for Christ when they grow older. II. PLANNING FOR THE SENIOR KIDS CAMP A. Participants to the Senior Kids Camp Participation in the camp is exclusive to all children of CFC members and couples undergoing the Christian Life Program (CLP) ages 9 to 12. A camp can contain a maximum of 50 participants, excluding the service team. Since YFC members will serve in the camp, a ratio of 1 YFC servant to 7 KFC participants is observed. B. Role of the Parents in the Senior Kids Camp The parents are vital in sustaining the spiritual growth of their kids during and after the camp. Therefore they are required to attend an orientation meeting scheduled prior to the camp. Here, they will be oriented by the KFC coordinator about the activities and let them fill up the information sheets and waiver forms needed. (See Annex). C. The Service Team Maximum of 10 YFC representatives from whom the following key positions shall be delegated: 1 facilitator for every 4-7 kids (boys to boys, girls to girls)

15

music ministry team leader/s (max. of 2 - 1 boy & 1 girl) 4 speakers 4 sharers camp servants

Two CFC Couple Coordinators will oversee the whole camp: 1 Service Team Head and 1 Assistant Service Team Head. Other couple coordinators must be assigned to the registration team. Please note that the team composition, as suggested, may not be ideal or adequate to be able to accomplish and achieve targeted goals of the camp, considering the needs for kids safety, security and supervision. Additional volunteer parents and/or YFC representatives therefore, are expected to gladly assist in the administrative functions, but are willing to be on live-out status for purposes of cost savings. D. Suggested Venue and Facilities The camp site must have a wide and clean environment where children can play and walk around safely; where bonfire can be done. It must have separate bedrooms for boys and girls; can accommodate at least 64 persons; with adequate supply of water and electricity; means of communication provided; clean bathroom, toilet, canteen/mess room, recreational facilities.

Game Topic 4: The Holy Spirit Will Help Me to be Good Always Pray-over Ceremony (with parents) Parent-Child Dialogue Holy Mass, Dedication to KFC, Distribution of ID/Commitment Cards, and Volunteer Sharings 12:30 p.m. Lunch 1:30 Departure Important Notes: The schedules written in this manual are guides for the Senior Kids Camp Service Team. If circumstances call for a different schedule, the team should be flexible enough to follow where the Holy Spirit leads. For the Play Break on Day 1, be sure to provide alternative activities for children who will not be able to participate on the major activity. For example, for children who were not allowed by parents to swim, they can have a cooking activity or art activity, etc. You may also ask the children to write something about the Senior Kids Camp. Example, What is the most memorable thing that happened to me during the Kids Camp? This may be done before the Mass. The time for dedication to KFC and the distribution of ID/KFC Promise (Commitment Card) may be done within the mass. Note that it is only in the Senior Kids Camp that the child will be given a commitment card, as this is not given out to the participants of the Junior Kids Day for kids ages 4 to 8 years old. (See separate manual for Junior Kids Day.) IV. TEAM LEADERS GUIDE A. The Team Leader and the Senior Kids Camp Goals of the Kids Camp (as mentioned earlier) 1. To introduce Jesus to the kids, making them realize that God has a special place for them in His heart, and that He loves them very much even if they are still very young. 2. To enable the kids to respond to Gods love through a healthy and fun environment of prayers, songs, activities and fellowship among peers and friends. 3. To give them a sense of identity as members of CFC Kids for Christ where they can share and expect Christian love, unity, and support from one another. 4. To expose them to their older brothers and sisters in YFC, joyfully using their talents to serve them, inspiring them to look forward to joining CFC Youth for Christ when they grow older. These goals are achieved through the 4 Fs 1. Fun - The camp contains activities which children find exciting and enjoyable (games, songs, bonfire, play time, etc.) 2. Friendship - The camp is an opportunity to build strong friendships with one another. (The team is encouraged to mingle with the kids.) 3. Faith - All activities are geared towards their relationship with God. 4. Freedom - The children are respected for what & who they are.

B. Attitudes of a Team Leader 1. The team leader strives to be a person of vision. He sees that the Kids Camp is not an end in itself but rather the beginning of a process of growth.

17

2. The team leader is flexible. He is open to changes/modifications of any activity/game if the children are not receptive towards it. 3. The team leader is alert. He watches the children for clues. (Children get discouraged when the learning game seems too difficult. Children get restless and fidgety if the games are too easy.) 4. The team leader strives for clarity. a. He allows others to see what he sees. He makes sure that his female partner, couple coordinator, and team have the same understanding as he does about circumstances in the camp. b. He finds ways to make the participants relate to the talks and sharings. These are done through jokes, anecdotes, examples in current movie/t.v./music trends and illustrates these in terms familiar to the participants. 5. The team leader strives to have a heart for God and His people. a. He listens to the Lord: prepares spiritually before the camp; continues to consult and intercede to the Lord throughout the camp. b. He has a feel for the people: mingles and relates with the team; mingles and relates with the participants. c. He loves the people he serves. C. Roles and Responsibilities of a Team Leader 1. Each Kids Camp has two team leaders; one for the boys and one for the girls. a. The male team leader leads the sessions: leads prayers, worship; introduces speakers and sharers; wraps up, summarizes, emphasizes points for clarity; sits infront, listening to each talk. b. The female team leader is there to respond to the needs of the girls and provide input in planning and conducting the camp. c. Both team leaders work in consultation with each other to unify and provide focus for the team. d. They should both be prepared to give any of the four talks. e. They make sure that the Camp Schedule is followed. 2. Gives input in camp decisions to the Couple Coordinator. 3. Leads the team. a. Facilitates team meetings: listens to input from the team; gives instructions to and receives instructions from the Couple Coordinator; leads worship. b. Makes sure that the team knows what to do and actually does it. Runs through regular activities with the team beforehand so they know whats happening; regularly supports and instructs camp servants. c. Corrects the team (individually or as a whole group). Note: The Couple Coordinator should course his/her corrections through the team leader. d. Encourages the team: exhorts; takes every opportunity to commend them. e. Gives advice. 4. Makes sure that the 4 Fs are used properly. D. Practical Tips for the Entire Service Team 1. Be humble. Try to answer all the questions of the children. Dont be afraid to admit to a child that you dont know the answer to the question. You can even refer the question back to the child by saying, I dont know, what do you think? 2. Be encouraging. Always focus on what they can do instead of what they cant do. Be generous in praising them for every little good thing they do. This will give them the courage to try harder and feel good about themselves.

18

3. Dont compare the children. Children are all special. Bring out the uniqueness of each child by paying special attention to them when they participate and by encouraging those shy ones to speak or to play with the others. 4. Enjoy serving with the children. Children can easily detect negative emotions. These can sometimes bring down their spirit and allow them to lose interest in the activity. Your enjoyment in working together at learning new activities and games will build healthy emotions and can nourish the childs self-esteem. Always keep a smile on your face. It is an honor and a privilege to be serving those closest to Gods heart. E. Purpose of Some Aspects of the Camp 1. Purpose of Mingling a. Allows you to relate to the participants/team. b. Evangelistic. c. Builds friendships. 2. Purpose of Seating Arrangement (the ideal is U shape) a. It is easier to speak to the children because distance is cut. b. Removes the formality of a classroom setting. c. Children encourage one another to be more participative. d. You become part of the group. 3. Purpose of Songs a. Teaches the children to pray and to make prayer more enjoyable. b. Enjoyable - God gets His message through with the least resistance. c. Makes activity participative. d. Energizes the sessions. (wakes the children up) e. Gathers the children to start a session. 4. Purpose of Humor a. Makes the children listen to/enjoy the sessions. b. Establishes rapport with audience. c. Makes a point easy to remember. 5. Purpose of Games a. Makes sessions enjoyable. b. Makes activities participative. c. Energizes the camp. V. EXPANDED OUTLINES The topics to be discussed with the children should be short, very simple, and informal. Visual aids - such as pictures or slide shows - may be used to sustain the interest of the children in listening to the topics being discussed. Remember that the attention span of children is very short. The sharings/personal testimonies must be alive and exciting. A. Topic 1: I. God Loves Me and He Wants Me to be Happy

Who is God?

(Ask anyone who they think God is. They could recite it out loud or you can ask them to try to draw a picture how they perceive God to be.) The result would most probably describe God as: - Creator - He made everything! - good - loving and kind - controls the weather or something!

19

After this simple activity, affirm their description about God who is powerful, wise, and who created everything. II. The God who made everything loves you! God loves each and everyone of us. He created all of us. Without Him, we would not be here. He loves us and wants us to be happy. He gives us beautiful things and all the things we need. (Tell them to close their eyes and imagine the things God gave them that makes them happy. After a minute, you can ask them what are the things God gave us and take note of them.) - The trees - The sky - Our pets - the air we breathe and the water we use - He gave us LIFE. Yes, the most beautiful gift he gave us is our LIFE. He also gave others life so that we may enjoy the things He made for us. He gave us our parents, our brothers and sisters. He gave us everyone that we love. III. He gave us all these things so we can be happy! God loves us and wants us to be happy. Our parents are there to take care of us. Our brothers and sisters are there to help us. Our friends are there to play with us. If God loves you, do you love God? How can your show you love God? Let us pray to God. (Invite them for a short prayer. Tell them to repeat after you) Lord,/ thank you for creating so many things for me./ Thank you for the trees,/ the animals,/ the mountains,/ and the air./ Thank you/ for giving me life./ Thank you/ for my parents,/ brothers and sisters,/ and friends. I know/ that you love me/ and want me to be happy./ I also want to love you/ and make you happy./ Help me to be good/ so I can show you my love/ and make you happy./ Amen. IV. Sharing (Introduce sharer for this topic. 5 mins. only) Suggested Activities: 1. Marshmallow Sculptures Materials: Marshmallows, toothpicks Dynamics: Give each small group plenty of marshmallows and toothpicks. Ask them to make something that God gave us using the marshmallows and toothpicks. Encourage them to work as a team. Interview them later what are the things that they created. After that they can eat the marshmallows. 2. Diorama Using Junk Materials Materials: Scissors (safe ones), Glue/Paste Empty cartons of the following: soap/toothpaste, matchbox, toilet paper roll Cloth, yarn, wood shavings, sand, pebbles, bottle caps, etc... Dynamics: Ask the children to make a mini diorama of Gods creations. Encourage them to work as a team. B. Topic 2: Jesus Will Show Me How to Love God

20

I.

Who is Jesus? (Just like the first Topic, ask them who Jesus is and take note of their answers.)

Whenever we celebrate Christmas, whos birthday is it? Yes, Jesus was born on Christmas day. Jesus is the Son of God. God sent Jesus to us to show us how to love God. II. How did Jesus show us how to love God? A. When he was young... - He helped his foster father Joseph - He was obedient to his mother Mary - They prayed as a family every night - He loved to play with his friends and did not fight them B. When he was older.... - He went from town to town and told people that My Father (God) loves you very much. - He healed the sick, the blind, and the deaf - He taught people how to pray to God - He made the sad people happy III. What did people say about Jesus People were always following Jesus. They said that: Jesus is so good. He is the friend of all. He is the Son of God. We love Jesus! and Lets follow Him! III. Lets follow Jesus! God loves us so much that He sent us His Son Jesus. God wants us to love others just like Jesus did when he was here on earth. Let us love God by loving and following his Son Jesus Christ. Let us pray: Lord,/ help us to love Jesus./ He is good,/ obedient,/ and prayerful./ Help me/ to be like him./ I want to be good,/ obedient,/ and prayerful./ I want to be His friend./ I want to love others/ just like He did./ Help me/ to be like Jesus always/ so I may show you/ how I love you./ Amen. IV. Sharing (Introduce sharer for this topic. 5 mins. only) Activity: Loving others - Jesus Style! Materials: Questionnaire, Pen/pencil Dynamics: Distribute a copy of the questionnaire per participant. Have their pens ready. Instruct them to check or encircle their answers. After having completed the questionnaire, as a group, go over all the answers and reveal to them the right response for each question. NAME _____________________________ Loving Others - Jesus Style!

21

Jesus loves everyone. How do you think He showed His love to people? Try to answer the following questions and find out later what is the right way to do it. I. It is impossible to love some people. Check your answer. True_____ False_____

II. Encircle the following that are easy to love: your mother a close friend a rock star yourself your teacher your father rich people God lolos and lolas poor people sister/brother Jesus superheroes (X-men,Power Rangers)

III. Check which of the following are examples of love: _____ laughing at someone when he makes a mistake _____ giving money to the church _____ feeling sad for someone who is hurt _____ eating with someone who is alone _____ doing chores at home _____ obeying your parents even if they scold you _____ lying for a friend _____ telling Jesus to your friends _____ saying bad things about someone who has hurt you _____ giving food to the hungry _____ giving your answers to a friend who did not study in an exam _____ praying for a sick person _____ laugh at someone who is naked C. Topic 3: I. God Will Always Forgive Me Because He Loves Me

God wants us to be good.

God is good to us. But He is hurt when we do bad things. We cannot say I love God if we are not good. That is why he wants us to be good boys and girls always. If we say sorry for the wrong things weve done, God will always forgive us. II. The Prodigal Son Read beforehand the story of the Prodigal Son. Then narrate the story to the kids in an interesting way, emphasizing that God is like the father who forgives the sin if we say sorry. III. We can show our love for God by turning away from sin. A. Some examples of sin. - answering back to our parents - not obeying our parents - lying, stealing, cheating - saying bad words, swearing - looking at bad pictures - hurting others

22

by being selfish, stubborn

B. How can we be sorry for these sins? - by being honest and humble to admit our mistakes - by praying to God and asking for forgiveness - by going to confession IV. God is always merciful. Remember the Prodigal Son. No matter how big our sins are, God will forgive us because He loves us. Jesus is always here to help us be sorry for our sins and come before His Father. Let us be sorry for all our sins and allow Jesus to wash us clean from all our sinfulness. V. Sharing (Introduce sharer for this topic. 5 mins. only) Activity: Letters to God Materials: Stationery/cards, letter envelopes, ballpens/pencil Dynamics: Let the children write letters to God expressing their love and asking forgiveness for their wrongdoings. These letters are to be offered during the Mass the following day. The facilitators should make sure that each child is able to write to God. Note: The letters may be read by the Couple Coordinators after the camp for evaluation purposes only. D. Topic 4: I. The Holy Spirit Will Help Me to be Good Always

We have a Helper!

(Ask them if they know of any super hero who helps people.) Just like these super heroes, do you know that there is someone greater than them whos always ready to help us? Do you know that there is someone who is always with us who helps us to be good? He is called the Holy Spirit. II. Who is the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit is Gods own Spirit. We cannot see Him. But He is always present. He is with us, everyday, every hour, every minute, and every second. When we pray to Him, he gives us the strength to be good and avoid sin and other bad things. We can also ask help from Him when we are sad and troubled. He listens to us always. He makes us love God even more! III. Do you know that we can receive the Holy Spirit? Yes, we can. But we need to pray with someone and ask God to fill us with His Spirit. We will do this later after this talk. Before we can receive the Holy Spirit, we must first show God that we love Him and the people He gave us. A. Pray to the Lord and tell Him: - we dont want to sin anymore - we love Jesus and want to be with Him always - we need a Helper and believe that God will give Him to us

23

B. We must express our love for our parents, brothers and sisters, and friends. - God will be pleased if we show our love for these people - He wants us to be obedient and loving IV. Conclusion God loves us. He sent Jesus to be our friend. He is now sending His Holy Spirit to guide and strengthen us and to help us. Let us be ready to receive Him in our lives. V. Letter Giving and Dialogue Instruct the parents to stay beside their child after this talk. The parents can invite their kids to a place where they can start exchanging letters and having the dialogue. (It is assumed that the parents have been oriented earlier about their letter to their children and the dialogue that expresses love and forgiveness. They should also encourage their children to receive the Holy Spirit and pray for their concerns during the pray-over.) VI. The Pray-over Session Gather the participants with their parents in the session hall. Make sure that the parents are standing beside their children. Tell the kids to sit with their hands on their lap as a sign of receiving. After settling down remind the kids to be prayerful, asking God to send His Spirit to them. Ask the music ministry to play a slow song previously taught earlier. After the song, the parents will lay their hands over their children and pray over them. Make sure they are oriented of the pray-over process: 1. Praising. 2. Pray for the childs concerns. 3. Ask the Holy Spirit to come to their child. 4. Thanksgiving prayer. 5. Close with Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be. V. Worship After everyone has been prayed-over, exhort the kids to thank God for the Holy Spirit in them. The way to show it is through a series of songs and prayer called a worship. The process is as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. Teach them to voice their praises (Thank you Lord, I love you Lord, I praise you!) Explain raising of hands as a way of telling God You are great! Start the worship with a fast song, then praising, then a slow song. After the singing, lead the assembly in a simple thanksgiving prayer to God for sending His Spirit to them. 5. Close the worship with a Glory Be. (A song is optional).
