This is the fifth in a series of posts highlighting hunger-related activities that happened over the summer at ELCA Outdoor Ministry locations with the help of Education\/Advocacy grants from ELCA World Hunger. The following is from\u00a0Pine Lake Camp in Waupaca, Wisconsin.<\/p>\n

——————————–<\/p>\n

Crossways Camping Ministries, located at three sites in\u00a0northeastern Wisconsin, brings people together in Christ so that lives are changed and communities enhanced.\u00a0 Campers between third grade and high-school grow in their relationship with God and learn to incorporate Christian principles into their daily lives.\u00a0 This summer we have two hunger education focuses.\u00a0 The first focus is to learn about hunger by discussing our own eating habits.\u00a0 The second focus is to learn about hunger as we raise money to combat hunger in other countries.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>At Pine Lake Camp we use our World Awareness time to share the importance of making responsible food choices.\u00a0 Counselors lead campers through one of three games which we created and\/or adapted from other resources.\u00a0 One opportunity is Food Mile Rummy.\u00a0 Campers play a traditional rummy card game collecting one card of each food group, as well as a card indicating the number of miles the food has travelled, and a card indicating the number of fossil fuels used in transportation.\u00a0 The winning camper is the one with a card in each category, the lowest miles travelled, and the lowest fossil fuels used.\u00a0 Discussion after the game focuses on ways we can reduce the amount of miles our food travels, including, growing our own, and buying food in season.\u00a0 Campers connect this conversation with our \u201clocal food chalk board\u201d hung in the dining hall.\u00a0 Here campers learn that some of the vegetables on the salad bar are from our camp garden and much of the dairy they are eating is from a nearby dairy.<\/p>\n

Another game the campers can play helps them understand the balance between their needs and wants.\u00a0 Campers choose pictures of things they own or value, like ipods and CD\u2019s.\u00a0 Then they choose what animal they\u2019d like to buy for a family in need in another country.\u00a0 The objective is to balance the cost of animal the with the proper amount of items they would need to give up in order to buy the animal.\u00a0 Campers discuss how much we have in comparison to people in other countries, as well as their own definition of need and want and how they can change their lifestyle so that others may gain from their wealth.<\/p>\n

Our second focus this summer is to encourage campers to raise money for ELCA Good Gifts – God\u2019s Global Barnyard.\u00a0 During Mission Project Time campers first learn from our international counselors.\u00a0 Then they learn about God\u2019s Global Barnyard and how buying animals for people in other countries helps to combat hunger.\u00a0 To facilitate learning the campers gather in small groups with information about animals that can be purchased through ELCA Good Gifts.\u00a0\u00a0 They design a skit to share with the rest of the campers how a cow, for example, can help nourish a family and community in another country.\u00a0 Then on Thursday the campers can donate money from their canteen cards towards the mission project.\u00a0 At closing worship on Friday parents and campers alike find out how much money was raised that week and what animals will be purchased with the money.\u00a0 As a way to tie into our summer Bible study we\u2019ve put up a huge ark in the chapel to which we adhere the animals purchased throughout the summer.\u00a0 The weeks we\u2019ve been able to purchase a cow for $500 have been particularly exciting, but we\u2019ve celebrated every animal with lots of applause.\u00a0 We expect that our focus on hunger education this summer will be change lives and enhance communities once campers leave camp.<\/p>\n
