Parent's Night Out for Camp - Take 3

Last night was our THIRD Parent's Night Out for Camp and it was a great success! It has been interesting because we've had three different kinds of groups each time. The last time it was mainly boys and last night it was mainly girls - Morgan was LOVING it!

To recap: This summer the students at our church have the opportunity to go to camp for a week in June. This is an AWESOME opportunity for them to get to know Jesus better and have a lot of fun doing it. The cost is $200 per student. The church does a wonderful fund-raiser by way of a car wash. The students sell tickets for $10 a piece (2 car washes per ticket - good deal!) and they get to put 100% of the money they earn through ticket sales toward camp. Megan and I have a small group of 9th grade girls and an additional way we are trying to earn money is by providing a childcare service for parents. This is our third one and it was FABULOUS! So far each student has averaged $25 per night. If they've worked all three PNO, they've earned $75 so far!!!!! That's almost half of the money they needed for camp. WOOHOO.

We are hoping to get at least 1 more PNO (hopefully 2) before the money for camp is due. If you want to be included on the evite, please reply and let me know. It fills up fast!

Next PNO is Friday, May 30th. Mark your calendars!!!!

This has to be the most popular game we bring out - Don't Break the Ice (Ashley - John LOVES this game! It's always his second request, after doing crafts, of course).



We were thankful for a beautiful evening. The kids spent a good amount of time playing outside.



Each night we have a craft project (or two) that we do. This night we were making books (2 pics above). The kids LOVE craft time. A while later all the girls disappeared and I found them upstairs in Morgan's room making bracelets.

Thank you all so much for another successful PNO!
