Update: How To Build A Florida Igloo, And Other VBS Stuff

August 3, 2009

Last week, we ran a story about an igloo constructed by a Molino church using over 700 plastic jugs.

We received several comments and lots of email about the igloo, so we thought we’d share photos of the construction process that were emailed to us by Aldersgate United Methodist Church.

camp-edge-igloo-front.jpgAs for how the igloo was constructed, church members tell us it is nothing but the plastic gallon milk-type jugs and a lot of hot glue.

The igloo was constructed to be used in the “Polar Bear Snack Express” at Aldersgate’s Campe E.D.G.E. Vacation Bible School that is going on from 5:30 until 8:30 each evening this week at the church, which is located just south of the Highway 29 and Highway 97 intersection in Molino.

“It’s an action-packed, adrenaline-filled expedition that teaches kids how to live on the E.D.G.E. in their faith. Daily adventures with the Bible will introduce kids to characters that have experienced and discovered God in many ways,” Camp E.D.G.E. director Sandra Greenwell said. “We also will have our Camp Sites, Waterfalls, Caves, Butterfly Gardens, Science Labs…and much more.”

Camp E.D.G.E. is free and open to all children from three years to sixth grade.

    Aldersgate United Methodist Church had an outstanding VBS program.

    They averaged 42 campers and close to 50 Leaders/Counselors/Volunteers each evening!

    This seems like an excellent ratio of campers per mentor.

    Definitly qualitly over quantity…..Good Job!
