Sardines...Uh... and Pork and Beans

After reading the title of this post, some of you will be thinking "What on earth is she talking about?!" While others, I can think of a few right now, will suddenly begin singing, whether they like it or not! That is the mysterious wonder of camp songs. With the memory of the song, comes the memory of the entire camp. And so it goes with Sardines and Sunday School camp last weekend.

The theme for this year was focusing on guarding our hearts against Satan's attacks. Using this theme, we paralleled it to guarding a castle against the enemy's attack. Of course, castles relate to the medieval times naturally, which is why we are all dressed up in the above picture in such a... unique way.
We had plenty of fun and games all weekend long, as well as a medieval feast (though perhaps ice cream and sprinkles isn't quite as medieval as the rest of the feast).

Each morning and evening we had our bible time, learning about how and why to guard our hearts.
At the end of the weekend, we were joined at our metaphorical "castle" in the alps by our church. We had wonderful medieval foods such as... hot dogs and chocolate cake (who knows, they might of had that back then). We wrapped up the entire weekend with a hard worked on allegory play, and of course "Sardines...uh... and pork and beans"!
