At the end of every summer at Sonshine Kids Day Camp, we organize a fun field trip where we hope our campers will have a blast, learn new things, and experience Christ’s love in unexpected and exciting ways! This year, our Sonshine Kids Day Camp in Tuskegee took a field trip to a Montgomery Biscuits baseball game. Many of the day campers love sports, but they had never before watched a Biscuits game. We all had a blast cheering on the Biscuits as they played against the Tennessee Smokies. I think it’s safe to say that the kids’ favorite part of the trip was that it was water day at the Biscuits stadium, which meant that water was squirted, sprayed, and dumped upon us at the top and bottom of every inning! Thank you to all of the day camp staff, other ARM staff members, parents, chaperones, and youth teams for helping us have fun, successful trips!

Our Sonshine Kids Day Camp in Livingston traveled to Birmingham to the McWane Science Center for their field trip. From getting to pet sharks and stingrays and lie on a bed of nails, to testing out the pulley chairs and experimenting with bubbles, our campers (and chaperones) were sad to say “goodbye” at the end of the day–no one wanted the fun to end! With all that the McWane Science Center had to offer and teach us, the vastness of God’s creation of the world, everything in it, and the functioning of every piece to the puzzle of creation seemed even more mind-boggling than before. How crazy is it to think that the Creator of the universe–the same God who created the sun and the moon–also created you and me? What a fun day we had learning all kinds of new things and experiencing the vastness of God’s love for us!
