HO HO HO! MERRY and JOYFUL times at Week 4 of Groundlings! We're celebrating "Christmas in July" this week!

Shiver me timbers! Pirates have taken over Week 3 of Groundlings Camp: Treasure Island!

Groundlings 2020 is halfway through the first week! Campers have been doing recreation, making tons of cool crafts, and exploring their faith through bible study-- all while maintaining a safe distance and wearing masks. On Tuesday, the camp celebrated Crazy Hair Day with plenty of wacky ‘dos. Campers also incorporated this week’s theme of ‘Where the Wild Things Are’ into their service project where they’re helping out some less fortunate ‘wild things’ by turning old shirts into dog toys for the animals at the Long Beach Animal Shelter. Everyone has been so excited about camp and we’re so happy to be able to do it this summer!

Groundlings Camp Staff Orientation, the safe distance way. Social Distancing is all the rage these days here a LAUMC!!! #facemasksRcool #laumc

Happy Last Day of School for all you LBUSD students! We hope everyone had a great school year and has lots planned this summer. Despite the COVID-19 Pandemic, we will still be having Groundlings 2020 this summer, albeit with a few changes. We have been working with the CDC and ACA standards to construct a plan for how to lead a camp that can provide a valuable camp experience while also ensuring that we can reduce the spread of this virus. Some of the modifications we will ma...ke to camp this year include alternative "family group" sizing, new arrival & departure protocols, plans for activities that focus on "individual within-group" work, and daily health screenings of campers and staff. In addition, we are not able to offer afternoon care this summer. We have morning care from 7-10am, and the camp day will run 10am - 4pm with staggered arrival and departure times for camp and family safety. You can get more information online at https://losaltosumc.churchcenter.com/registra/events/362008. We hope to see you all there! See more
