Yes. The children's program was free. Once we hired a bus and took everyone to the Erie Peninsula for an afternoon.
Another time one of the chaperones had a cabin with a pond and took about 25 boys and girls there for a picnic.
Then one time I hired a band to entertain with Christian music at the church.
Snacks and treats were provided out of chaperones pockets. I think some church members also donated to the fund for snack time.
You know what no one ever mentioned parental permission slips. No one ever had an accident. The year we had to shut down the project I had children who came by and asked me not to find a way to keep it open.
