There are only 5 weeks left in Winkler Bible Camp’s winter Kids Zone semester and we’re having a bring-a-friend contest! Every time a kid brings a friend who has NEVER been to Kids Zone before, their name goes in a draw. On December 14th (the last week of Kids Zone until spring) we’ll draw one girl’s name and one boy’s name and they will win a free session of summer camp for 2014! Do you have kids grade 1-6 who need something to do on Saturday mornings? Kids Zone will be taking place at 10:00 every Saturday morning until December 14th in the gymnasium at Winkler Elementary School, unless otherwise specified. Get ready for an awesome time of singing, games, prizes, and creative Bible teaching.

Want to volunteer? If you’re in grade 7 and up, arrive at 9:00 and you can help out with doing actions, handing out candy, and just hanging out with the kids who come!
