Bible Comes to Life at New Jersey Conference Adventuree Event

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.
