The students will expand on what they’ve discovered by making their own art projects at the Craft Station, singing new songs at the Music Station, exploring the wonders of God’s creation at the Science Station, playing games at the Recreation Station, and enjoying tasty treats at the Snack Station. Along the way, the Campers will hear about our mission project and as their respond to a call for action!

SNACKS & ALLERGIES
Extra care has been taken at our Snack Station to provide fun and delicious snacks for our Campers. For those with allergies or food avoidances, mandarin oranges will be available. If your child has allergies or food avoidances, please contact Laura Rosman at Lrosman@indianrun.org so that we can work together to ensure your child will be safe/included at VBS.
VBS MISSIONS
Dublin Food Pantry
Our Camp Firelight Mission Partner is Dublin Food Pantry (DFP). “DFP is dedicated to providing for the needs of hungry people by collecting and distributing food and grocery products, educating the community about hunger, and collaborating with others who address basic human needs. The Pantry provides food for more than 9000 individuals each year in the Dublin Community.”
Donations
Campers are invited to bring donations to Camp Firelight. Campers may bring soup cans or monetary donations (of any amount). Per our tradition, we have a friendly “competition” to see which group will give the most each day. The winning groups will receive a prize. Our mission collection is meant to help campers get excited about serving and caring for others.
Our friends from DFP have asked specifically for Campbell’s soup, or monetary donations. Checks can be made to IRUMC.
