Primary B.O.O.T. camp

Primary B.O.O.T. camp (Building Our Own Testimonies)

9:30-9:50 Dog tag assignment and orientation- included writing their names on their dog tags and a very effective game of Sergent Says as the kids arrived.

Four Station rotation:
9:50-10:05 Spiritual and Physical Evaluation-The children learned about the importance of Spiritual and physical health, then made Valentines for troops to be delivered via Blue Star Mothers- to lift their spirits.
10:05-10:20 Operation Lost Sheep- Children learned the story of the Lost Sheep, wrote their name on a really cute sheep poster the president made and then played a game involving hiding a small sheep in the room and then bleating louder or softer as the child playing "Sheppard" got closer or farther from the "lost" sheep
10:20-10:35- Endurance (To the End) training-A lesson about enduring to the end and then an obstacle course. Older children were timed, younger ones got a sticker for each time they made it through.
10:35-10:50 Project Missile Children were taught that some things we are told to do and other things we are told not to do. The not to do things were written on a target and the kids "blasted" them away with Nerf guns.

10:50- Mess Hall. Pudding and Bananas

We also collected items for Blue Star Mothers and part of a Service project.


I had every intention of bringing my camera to the first activity I was in charge of in this calling and Kylee's first primary activity ever, but it turned out to be just an intention. Luckily, Taylor is a primary teacher and he took some pictures with his phone.

Getting ready for target practice.

Trent Famuliner was in charge of one of our stations to earn his religious knot for scouts. His brother, Cyle took over when Trent had to got to a basketball game.

Get ready to race!

Tunnel training

Making Valentines.

I thought about making cuter signs, but lucky for me, I decided the army isn't really cute, so I stuck with the basics.
