Zeba 2015: Day Three - Digging Deep

Monday morning, it was off to our first day of Vacation Bible School at the Zeba campground. What a success it was! Our Ann Arbor youth were enthusiastic, warm, engaged leaders for their new buddies. The music team led the crowd in rousing song, followed by a fun, participatory Elijah story skit by the drama team. Crafts of campfire handprints, funky fridge magnets and more, as well as all kinds of games ranging from sharks and minnows to red light green light, rounded out the great first day. Zeba kids left with smiles on their faces and warmed hearts.

To dig just a little bit deeper, we then headed to the Adventure Mine in Greenland Michigan to learn about our state's early copper mining trade. Our informative and humorous tour guides were great. Back in the vans to Ontonagon for mouth-watering pizza at a Lakeside (Superior) park. Two other youth who had commitments last weekend met us there to be with us for the remainder of the week. Some of us dared into the brisk waters of Lake Superior for a quick dip, others preferred the playground and shoreline swings. Singalong tunes in the vans home made our ride back fly by. Our youth loved their first day and can't wait to make tomorrow even better for the Zeba kids!
