This summer, we ran a week-long morning camp for age 10–high school to teach kids some acting skills, discuss our hope in Christ, and give them an opportunity to express that to others. We culminated in a final performance that combined what we had learned in a series of skits with a running story that tied it all together. Here’s our notes and script from the week for anyone who’d want to do something similar:

• Final Script
• Planning Notes
• Skit Resource: We used a lot of skits from this site for practice and ideas
• Montage Video: Google Photos made it easy to put together a video showing off what we did all week. We played this video during the offering the following Sunday.

We can’t show the final production, because parts of it were improv, and we used the kids’ names, and we don’t share photos or video that connect kids’ names with images publicly, but I hope this will be a helpful resource.

Faith Webbing is a deep, purposeful intergenerational approach to connecting youth to faith through a congregation. Its premise is to intentionally identify relationship voids in young peoples’ lives and then to fill those voids with members from within the congregation.

I haven’t tried this, since we’re doing DiscipleQuest here, but we’re looking into the concept to integrate into our Sunday School program.
