Story by Stephen Lee
This year’s Adventuree event, held at the Tranquility Camp in Andover, brought the Bible to life for more than 500 Adventurers and their 1,200-plus parents, staff and volunteers.
Organizers transformed the campus into a Jerusalem marketplace, and volunteers and attendees dressed in attire from biblical times. Activities included a “Sermon on the Mount” experience, various crafts related to Jesus’ life and engaging sessions by Steven Hernandez, a member of the Morristown Spanish church. The children rotated through stations such as carpentry, basket weaving, bread making, fishing and grape juice pressing, entering through temple gates, paying a temple tax and avoiding “lepers.” Adventurers say they enjoyed the games and activities and had a fantastic time.
