lurches Regard Summer Months as Opportunity for Christian 9f LOUIS CASSELS (fftiljd Press International one are the days when the gjNjjinning of summer marked th 9ad of organized church wscfms for children. fceday the situation is just thf jeverse. Instead of lapsing int .vacation doldrums after Mtsaorial day, churches now regard the summer months as their greatest opportunity for Christian teaching. This summer, about three fourths of the nation's Protes tant churches will conduct va cation church schools. The to tal enrollment probably will exceed 8 million children. Most vacation church schools begin in June, soon after the public schools close. The typical school operates from 9 a.m. until noon, Mon day through Friday, for a two week period. But the program has proved so popular with children and parents that some . churches have lengthened the idrm to four weeks. To Youngsters &. good vacation church tjzhool is designed to appeal $t young people of every age bracket from pre-kindergarten fto high school. Bible study Anfl worship are interspersed with .play perioas, nanai crelts. and group activities. Each class has its own special Droiect. A kindergarten group, for example, may build and furnish 3 model church of cardboard, while a junior high grAig rehearses and stages fey vomt church leaders are ctfinced that children re miff more effective religious eftu cttion in two weeks of va- 410 school than in a whole 9Mi of Sunday school. hy point out that the av- SMgA Sunday school class period is from 30 to 45 min utes long. Just as the teacher is getting into subject, the bell rings and further instruction has to be postponed until 1 week later. In vacation schools, teach' era are not faced with such severe time limitations. Even more ideal conditions for religious training are offer ed by church-sponsored sum mer camps. Here children can be brought into a happy, healthful, and distinctly Chris tian environment for 24 hours a day. With the right kind- of leadership and program, a church camp can become a place where young people not only learn about but live Christian principles.! rogjpg In Popularity Although church camping feill on a fairly small scale, . oMgared to vacation church jicrl3, it is rapidly growing i popularity.
