Hero Training Camp- Week #1 A Hero in the Making

David and his sheep

This summer I am working through Hero Training Camp with the children in my childcare.  The purpose?  To teach the children how to be more internally motivated instead of relying constantly on parental prompters.  Hero Training Camp is a conscience development course for kids packed with activities, crafts, Bible Stories, science experiments and snack ideas, helping children learn something new about conscience. 

Heroes are characterized by the same four things that are prompted by the conscience.  They do what's right, deal with wrongs, are honest, and care about others.  God has placed within all of us the sensitivity to those four things, but usually the conscience needs training in order to be effective.  It's an important theological concept that has significant practical applications for children.  Hero Training Camp is designed to help children work though a study of the conscience in practical hands on ways as they study the life of David.
