Over 100 students in third through sixth grades participated in Summer Music and Arts Camp for Kids — or SMACK — at William Carey University last week.
This annual summer camp is a worship leadership and discipleship camp for children. Campers participated in kid-friendly worship and Bible study; music games and activities; recreation; and nightly fellowships as well as daily musical rehearsals in preparation for a worship concert at the end of the week.
Great joy
This year the theme for the week focused on the birth of Jesus titled: “Good News! Great Joy! All People!” Through each activity of camp, students learn more about this good news of great joy as they work to rehearse for the Friday evening concert.
“Our musical we’ve chosen is Uncertain Poor Shepherds by Dave Clark, and they’re telling the story of Christmas from the shepherds’ perspective through their musicals,” shared Hope Smith, event coordinator and camp director. “We are incorporating that into our team time and our Bible studies and worship late night events.”
