The theme of the VIBE Summer Camp was "Preserve" based on Genesis 1:26-28 (The Message). God spoke: “Let us make human beings in our image, make them reflecting our nature. So they can be responsible for the fish in the sea, the birds in the air, the cattle, And, yes, Earth itself, and every animal that moves on the face of Earth.” God created

human beings; he created them godlike, Reflecting God’s nature. He created them male and female. God blessed them: “Prosper! Reproduce! Fill Earth! Take charge! Be responsible for fish in the sea and birds in the air, for every living thing that moves on the face of Earth.”
  
The youth engaged and learned about marine wildlife and the environment and appreciated God's creation at Elkhorn Slough Reserve through a guided tour, an educational worksheet, and a fun scavenger hunt.
  
We ended the day picking fresh strawberries at Gizdich Ranch in Watsonville and many of us made tasty strawberry pies later at home.
