Kidpower South Durham Parent/Child Workshop

In the workshop adults and their children learn and practice age-appropriate everyday People Safety skills, including: walking with awareness, on-line safety, keeping themselves safe from hurtful words, learning to set boundaries on touch and teasing and how to get help from busy adults. We introduce skills using stories and activities relevant to the children’s ages and life situations, then coach adults and kids to practice together. This workshop helps answer the question, “How can we teach our children to be safe without scaring them?” in a fun, age-appropriate, experiential way. In this class, adults are active participants with their child and are expected to stay with their child the entire class. All adults in the children’s lives are encouraged to attend.

Date of Class: June 16th, 2018

10:30-noon (3-6 year olds)

12:30-2:30 (7-12 year olds)

**If you have children in both age groups, contact me and we will decide which class is best for all kids to attend**

Location: Parkwood United Methodist church – 5123 Revere road, Durham 27713

*Kidpower never turns away a family for lack of funds. If funding is a problem, let us know as limited scholarships may be available based in financial hardship considerations.

PUMC Summer Arts Camp
July 10-13, 2016    5:30 – 7:30

PRAISE!

That is the theme of our upcoming Summer Arts Camp.  What is Summer Arts Camp?  It is very similar to the traditional Vacation Bible School that we have had at Parkwood United Methodist Church for many years.  This year we wanted to try something new to help us reach out to the children as they PRAISE God through songs, stories, bible verses and the arts.

The change is the focus on the arts.  Children love to perform, use their hands to make things, be creative and be dramatic!  We will give them an opportunity to do all of those things through our art activities.

Look at this lineup!

*Drama:  Make the props and present the drama based on a Bible story

*Music:  Make musical instruments and learn rhythms

*Crafts:  A variety of activities, including yarn sculptures

*Photography:  Learn strategies for picture taking and present a gallery of photos

*Jewelry Making:  Make necklaces and/or bracelets using a variety of materials

*Woodworking:  Make bluebird houses

 

These activities will be for our children ages 6-12.  We will have special activities for our 3-5 aged children.

On Sunday, July 10 at 5:30 we will kick off our summer arts camp by having a pizza and tie dye party!  We are asking everyone, adults and children, to bring a shirt to tie dye.  We will wear them on Saturday, July 16, 2016 to our end of camp celebration and ice cream social!

We hope you can join us for this exciting time.  You can  download our online registration form or you can contact bstephans@nc.rr.com.  The forms are also available at Parkwood United Methodist Church.  Please email the completed form or you can mail it to Parkwood United Methodist Church 5123 Revere Rd.
