Camp Plymouth 2023

Camp Plymouth 2023

Friday, August 18  at 4 p.m. to

Sunday, August 20, 2023 at Noon.

Looking for a great, relaxing place to spend time with your partner, spouse, children, or other members of our church community to celebrate the end of summer? Camp Plymouth (at Luther Crest in Alexandria, MN) offers an amazing opportunity for you to connect with other Plymouthites of all ages in a new way. It’s a great way to wrap up summer and get prepared for the energy and excitement of September. Households can arrive as early as Thursday afternoon, getting extra time to relax and unwind! Programming won’t officially begin until Friday afternoon!

THIS IS AN INTERGENERATIONAL EVENT! You do not need to have children in order to attend! You can attend with your grandchildren, your fellowship group, yourself, your family–whomever!

Camp includes a mix of scheduled activities (worship, service projects, group meals, games, swimming, etc.) and lots of free time to connect with others or unwind on your own!

Come celebrate our 25th year of Camp Plymouth!

Camp Programs

Preschool Peace Camp (ages 2.5-5):

Half-Day Camp (mornings only)

June 26-28

Tall buildings, interesting people, busy sidewalks, zooming busses–cities are such exciting places, and since we are lucky to be smack dab in the middle of one, let’s learn about the bright bustling city we live in, and how to be a good neighbor to those around us!

Join us for this NEW summer offering from Plymouth Church–preschool Peace Camp!

 

Peace Camp (Kindergarten – completed grade 4, FRIENDS welcome!)

Join us for Peace Camp this summer!
While we are still very much in the process of planning our Peace Camp this summer, but based on interests of our current kids, we are planning on a theme of the intersection of faith, science and magic! Sure to be a super fun time!

 

Musical Spectacular (grades 4-12)

July 31-August 4

$75

Musical Spectacular 2023
From Monday, July 31 at 9 a.m. to Friday, August 4, 2023 at 5 p.m.

After the success of last summer’s show, we are doing it again! Over the course of a week, we will create mini-scenes, rewrite song lyrics, perfect our own talent acts, and put together a not to be missed show!

Our goal is to have two shows on the last day–a morning show (around 10:30 a.m.) as well as an afternoon/evening show at 4:30.

This activity is open to kids grade 3 and up, and no prior theater experience is required.

All kids will have opportunities to work on tech (costumes, set, props, etc.) and be onstage in the show.

Breakfast and Board Games!

February 11

9:30-11:30 a.m. in Jones Commons and the Education Wing.

 

People of all ages are invited to come eat some yummy breakfast treats, play some favorite classic board games, or learn some new ones. A great chance to get out of the house in the winter and meet new Plymouth folks! The young and the young at heart are encouraged to attend! For more info or to RSVP, email Ninaj@plymouth.org

Wreath Sales

This Sunday, December 4, our senior high class will be selling wreaths and swags in Jones Commons from 8:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. Please plan to help support our Youth Program by purchasing holiday greenery from us. If you’ve already bought a wreath, you can purchase one that will be donated to those who utilize Groveland Food Shelf or attendees at the Drop-in Center. Wreaths and garlands can be paid for with check, cash, or credit card.

Ways you can get involved with the kids and teens of Plymouth:

  • Donate candy, prizes or empty plastic eggs (we reuse them!) for the Easter Egg hunt! I am also looking for $5 Gift Cards to any of the following places–Target, Sebastian Joes, Dairy Queen, Caribou, Wild Rumpus, Red Balloon, Chipotle, 5 Below. Candy, eggs and gift cards can be left outside my office (room 201, top of the stairs, education wing).
  • Read a story to be uploaded to our Nighttime with Nina (and friends!) youtube channel.
  • Be a classroom friend, substitute classroom teacher, or volunteer with any of our summer programming.
  • Share your skills for our Life Skills Fair May 21st!

 

Here are some updated requests from our teens:

  • Bike Care
  • Basic Automotive Info
  • Taxes for Teens
  • Apartment Living on a Budget
  • Basic Home Repair (including what to do if you set off smoke alarm or CO detector while cooking!)
  • College Tuition–Where to Find Scholarships
  • The benefits of trade school
  • Finding the right college for what you want to do!
  • Credit Card info
  • Being a savvy online shopper (is this website real or a phishing scam, is this an ethical brand or company, what is a good price for shipping, etc.)

If you can help teach any of these–email Nina!

Advent In a Box

It’s hard to believe, but advent is around the corner, 18 days away to be exact! On Sunday, November 28th, we kick off the holiday season, and just like last year, we are doing Advent in a Box!
If you are interested in signing your household up for the entire kit (or new this year, just the ornaments that you can make at home and bring to Plymouth on December 18th to decorate our community Christmas tree!) sign up here!

Sign-ups are only available through November 22!

Watch the Big Game under the Big Tent!

October 17, 2021
Come together for an intergenerational gathering to watch the Vikings take on the Carolina Panthers. Kick-off is at noon under the Big Top! Bring your chair, wear your fan gear (and bring a mask!), pick up lunch from one of our local restaurants and let’s watch some football! The Committee for Children, Youth, and Families will provide some snacks and hot cider, and there will some activities on hand for kids who get tired of watching the game. We can’t wait to see you there!
