Description:
AUG. 5-8 Firmly Planted IGNITE summer camps all start with 30 minutes of group chapel followed by 2 1/2 hours of specialty camps designed to ignite your student's faith. Cost includes a camp t-shirt. Here’s a camp for LEGO fans! During this week, we will do a variety of activities, games, freestyle builds, sensory play, crafts (yes, even with food!), and short YouTube videos—all themed around LEGO bricks!
Students will also get their own LEGO set to work on each day. The set will be part of the class fee, and the students can take these small builds home throughout the week. The exact set will depend upon availability, based on enrollment.
Please note, this LEGO camp will not be a “hard core” LEGO class. We will not be engineering and creating masterful builds to win competitions. The camp is designed for children who want to have general fun with LEGO bricks.
Each camp day will consist of 6 parts:
1.) LEGO Fact-of-the-Day (including a 5:00 minute or less YouTube video)
2.) Game/Activity using LEGO bricks
3.) Snack time
4.) LEGO craft and/or sensory activity
5.) Building time for the take-home LEGO set
6.) Freestyle building opportunity
*Firmly Planted has a YouTube Pro account; so there will be no advertisements during videos.
(REGISTRATION DIRECTIONS: This is an audition based class, please DM Rene Cooper and Jade Moore to let them know you are interested in auditioning for this class. Registrations will be added by Jill once we have the cast to support the production and families will be notified when their student has been enrolled.) We are thrilled to present a Christmas musical production - this will be a vibrant collaboration of theater, dance, and choir - written by our very own, Alexa Kehler! This heartwarming story follows a young boy grieving the loss of his father, a mother longing to rediscover joy, and a grandfather whose heart needs the transforming power of Jesus. As the boy and his mother begin serving in their church’s Christmas musical, the Lord begins to work in each of their lives - healing broken hearts, restoring hope, and drawing them closer to Him. Through a blend of engaging elements - skateboarding, fishing, hip-hop kings, and tap-dancing sheep - this story ultimately celebrates the redemptive love of Christ and the true meaning of Christmas. Families will be encouraged by its powerful message of salvation, renewal, and the joy found in knowing Jesus during performances on 12/5, 12/6, and 12/7 (adult tickets $12, child tickets $10). The admin fee for this production class includes all administrative, class, and supply fees. Please see the class requirements for additional commitments.

This class will operate as the behind-the-scenes team during the production and offer a unique experience that combines creativity, teamwork and hands-on skills.
The first half of the semester Crew will spend the majority of the time designing and building sets and props. The second half of the semester we plan to begin working in tandem with our actors, dancers, and the production choir, learning the more technical side of musical theater as well as backstage production planning.
All of our hard work will culminate in the excitement of the live performances - filled with plenty of opportunities for learning to stay calm under pressure, how to quickly adapt, while learning problem solving skills and effective communication with peers. Being a part of our crew team is so much more than executing an entertaining experience for audience members. We provide the opportunity for character growth that translates into each student's life "beyond the stage."
