God Calls Us to Community: Make New Friends

At Baobab Blast, kids get a consistent message of God’s unconditional love. Every activity helps kids understand how to build nurturing relationships with God, family, and others. At Baobab Blast, building relationships is not just a theory; it’s a place where meaningful friendships happen. Plus, when kids participate in the mission project, Africa Jam, they learn that the community of believers stretches all over the world.

Bible Is at the Center

During the week at Baobab Blast, interesting scripture stories create the framework for the day, enliven discussions about faith, teach kids about developing relationships, and guide them to realize their full potential as members of the Body of Christ. The scriptures are the foundation for the week’s program, and with Baobab Blast’s engaging activities and materials, kids will be inspired to take those faith messages home and spread the good news!

Fun and Engaging

At Baobab Blast, the critters, activity sites, storytelling DVD, trading cards and Saints cards, Bible Books, music, and easy decorating ideas help you create an exciting, energy-filled experience for your kids. The Daily Themes are interwoven into all the activities in fresh new ways so that when the kids are learning, playing, and dancing, they are experiencing the joy of living in God’s community.

What is a Baobab?

Baobab (bä´ōbăb´´) ) is a gigantic tree found in Africa that creates its own ecosystem. A baobab tree’s hollowed-out trunk, leaves, foliage, nectar, fruit, and bark provide basic life needs for many different creatures. For two months out of the year, when the rain falls and the grasses are green in the African Savannah, the Baobab tree produces leaves and flowers. The enormous tree can grow to 98 feet tall and 36 feet wide. Baobab trees are one of the world’s oldest life forms. The tree also serves as a meeting place for many local African people to gather, discuss, and share stories.

At Baobab Blast, the Baobab tree is the central figure—the hub of activity, energy, and life. The tree supports and invites everyone to come together; it is a symbol of community.
