I have just finished writing a program for a 2 day street camp that we are going to do in Galveston on our mission trip the first week in August. The title is "What You Can Learn from a Donkey." With the popularity of Shriek and donkey as his best friend, I think this is something that kids will enjoy. As a retired elementary teacher, I have had lots of experience with circurrulum and have spent lots of time coming up with things for my own students to use. Josh Derell, with Galveston Urban Ministries, told us that most of the kids there would not come for more than 2 days, 3 days max. I felt that if I took a VBS program(and there are many excellent ones) and cut it down to 2 days, that I would just have a watered down program. So I decided to write my own. I am offering it basically free for anyone interested in it. I would like $2 to cover the cost of copying it plus the postage to mail it. Postage for priority mail is $5.15. Postage for parcel post depends on where you live. My zip code is 76502 and it weights about 9 oz. You can go to usps.com to calculate the postage. Anyone who gets this program from me has permission to make as many copies as needed for their children.
My program is based on the story of Balaam's donkey in Numbers and the donkey that Jesus rode on for the trimuphal entry into Jerusalem. I have all the scripture refrences from ESV and have written my own orignial children's stories to go with them. I have comprehension questions, mazes, and word search puzzles to go with each story. I have a fill in the blank sheet to go with the memory verses and memory verse activities & games. I have original pictures to use for cards to make your own concentration game. I have instructions for a craft activity for each day and suggestions for recreation activities. There are also original illustrations that I've drawn to use. I've even included a schedule that you may use. Some of the word searches and mazes were generated from computer programs but all pictures on them are original. I have included 2 color sheets that came from the internet.
Any one interested in this program can email me at

This is one of my illustrations for the program. I am not a trained artist nor have I sold any of my art work. I just try to serve the Lord with whatever gifts he gives me. This will give you an idea of my artwork.
