Theme Days

Monday: Detective Day

Dress like a detective, ready to solve mysteries.

• A magnifying glass, a detective hat, or badge, bring a notebook to solve clues.

Tuesday: Undercover Day

Come in disguise!

• Wear a fun costume, hat, sunglasses, fake mustache, or anything that makes you look like you’re “undercover.”
• Sometimes the truth isn’t obvious—it requires us to look deeper. Jesus often spoke in parables, and not everyone understood His words right away. 

Wednesday: Clues are in the Socks

Wear the craziest, wackiest, most colorful socks you can find!

• Socks are often something you don’t notice, the truth is hidden in the most unexpected places that are usually right under your nose – like your socks!!

Thursday: Team spirit day

Wear your team color!

(Day Camp Only) Friday: Red Herring day

Come wearing clothes that don’t match, backwards shirts, and crazy combinations.

• A “red herring” is a clue, meant to distract you from the truth of the mystery.
