Character Camp 2006
June 12-16
If it's going to be...it's up to me!
Growing up has never been easy - and today the challenges are huge! Character is what helps kids make clear distinctions between what is right and wrong, between moral principles and personal opinions.
Shawnee Mission Unitarian Universalist Church's Character Camp is open this summer to children entering first through sixth grades.
Children will learn about the principles of character -- trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship -- through fun, hands-on activities, crafts, stories and plays.
Character Camp is from 9-12:00 each day on the grounds of the Shawnee Mission UU Church at 7725 West 87th Street.
The $25 enrollment fee includes all activities. Snacks will be provided.
Completed registration forms fees must be received no later than May 25th.
Shawnee Mission Unitarian Universalist Church - Unitarian Universalism (UU) is a liberal religion that encourages each individual to develop a personal faith. It draws meaning and inspiration from many different religions in the belief that no one religion has all the answers and that most have something to teach us, from Christianity to Buddhism to Judaism and Native American earth-centered traditions.
