Each day begins about 8:00am with breakfast followed by morning worship and an intergenerational Bible lesson based on the theme. These lessons are fun and engaging; more importantly, they are steeped in God’s Word.
During the second-half of the morning, grandparents and grandchildren are separated for ninety minutes. Grandparents attend grandparent classes affectionately known as “GrandBits” where they discuss what it means to be godly and intentional grandparents. Meanwhile, grandchildren spend time with other leaders who engage them in activities such as arts, games, and Bible stories, all designed to reinforce the theme. Then, the groups are back together for intergenerational games followed by lunch.
Afternoon activities may find you and your grandchildren playing Marco Polo in the pool on one afternoon and participating in a Bible scavenger hunt the next. There are other optional activities that you may partake in, or you can stroll the beautiful grounds of Epworth.
After dinner, evening activities are varied as well. One evening grandparents and children may learn to square dance; the following evening they will join in a hilarious and memorable game of shaving-cream-wiffle-ball!
As the sun sinks below the horizon, the evening activities come to an end. Grandparents retire to their own private rooms with their grandchildren where grandparents will lead personal family devotions using the Scripture passages, discussion questions, and prayers provided in their GrandCamp programs.
Then, a good night’s rest to start the next day!
