Kid's Camp 2011 a Huge Success

God you are awesome!  June 26th to 29th we hosted our 1st ever Kid's Camp at Fletcher Park and it was a great success.  103 kids attended in all with 75 kids on Thursday alone! Seven children made a decision to follow Christ and we met some really great families.

A large group of people from Riverside Baptist Church in Denver Colorado drove 1000 miles over 2 days to organize and run the event for us. They were great to work with. Their key words were positivity and flexibility and they needed it! They brought soccer balls and nets, basketballs, tables, chairs and tents but best of all big hearts and lots of smiles to encourage the kids.


The Genesis team had fun helping out in coaching basketball and soccer and organizing the BBQ. God allowed us to meet many new families through this event as well as serve the community that we love.

On Tuesday, our first day of camp, it rained hard but 16 kids showed up and had a blast. They showed the Colorado team what Albertans are made of.

Friday night we hosted a BBQ with bouncy houses, snow cones and popcorn. There were plenty of people there. The Colorado team stayed right to the end, helped with the cleanup then said their goodbyes until next year. We'll miss yall! A great big thanks.
