Arts Camp Sunday & Camp Updates!
Join us on Sunday, June 29 at the 10:15am service for Arts Camp Sunday — a joyful celebration of the creativity and spirit that filled our halls during Saint Barnabas Arts Camp, running June 9–27.
All campers will be invited to come and share the treasures they discovered along their journey through music, drama, art, and more. Our service will feature a special performance of our original camp song, sung by both our adult choir and our campers — a true cross-generational crew!
Check out our camp song videos and set sail with us on a high-seas adventure of friendship and creativity.
Our Daily Activities
Ahoy, mateys! Here’s a swashbucklin’ summary of our week full of activities at Saint Barnabas Arts Camp:
Day 1: We kicked off camp with culinary, music, art, and drama—games, new mates, and pirate tales with a grumpy pirate and a cheerful stowaway discovering the true treasures in life!
Day 2: We whipped up seaweed basil salads that made mouths water! Created sea creatures with sequins galore! 🐙🐠 And dove into pirate games that sparked creativity! We learned how God’s love is a lot like silver — always constant even under the tarnish.
Day 3: Crafted parrots and rock keychains that amazed! 🦜🗝️ Safe cooking and homemade snacks were a hit! 🍪 Played musical games and kept on singing the camp song: To Treasure Beyond Treasure! We also discovered gems in ourselves and others – God-like qualities and virtues that we work to mine and refine.
Day 4: Made octopus pizzas that looked and smelled delicious! 🐙🍕 Finished finger-knitted octopi and crafted paper plate friends with many tentacles. We learned how beautiful things can come from hardship, just like a pearl.
Day 5: A bittersweet farewell with morning songs and a T-shirt treasure hunt! Built boats and decorated tiles — what a week of adventure! 🚤🎨
