The Gardiner First Church of the Nazarene Church invites children to a free summer event, Monumental Bible Camp. The camp is scheduled for 9 a.m. to noon Monday through Friday, June 19-23, at the church on outer Brunswick Avenue at 6 Nazarene Way.

A picnic and celebration is set for Sunday, June 26, according to a news release from Sharon Cook, camp director.

Monumental is a desert- and southwest-themed camp.

Children can participate in Bible-learning activities, play teamwork-building games, eat treats, sing and dance to songs, experience Bible Adventures, collect Bible Memory Buddies, make creative crafts and test out Sciency-Fun Gizmos they can take home.

Monumental Camp is ages 3-12. Parents can register their students at gardinernazarene.org, or register at the church.

Helpers older than 13 are also invited; their volunteering hours can count towards community service requirements for their local schools.

For more information, call the church at 207-582-5107.
