Manitoulin Youth Camp 2018 The Life of Peter
Dear camper, Welcome to Kids Camp! We are so excited that you are planning on joining us this year. You have a great privilege of coming to camp as a “squirt” with your parents. You have an awesome opportunity to learn a few stories from the life of Peter this year with those that will be in your camp group as your “big brothers” or “big sisters” for the week.
We have created this booklet just for you to understand the lessons that everyone else is doing at camp. By no means are you required to complete this book, but it will help you learn valuable lessons from the life of Peter.
We have also included the memory verses for the week in each of the
lessons, in case you wish to learn them as well. (The reading quotes are
from the NKJ version, but the memory verses are from the KJV). There will
be prizes each day for saying that day’s memory verse to your teachers.
Do what you can and enjoy the book!

Luke 5:1-3
1So it was, as the multitude pressed about
[Jesus] to hear the word of God, that He
stood by the Lake of Gennesaret, 2 and saw
two boats standing by the lake; but the

and let down your nets for a catch.” 5 But Simon answered and said to Him,
“Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I
will let down the net.” 6 And when they had done this, they caught a great number

astonished at the catch of fish which they had taken; 10 and so also were James and
John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to

so, Lord! For I have never eaten anything common or unclean.” 15 And a voice

Acts 12:12-15
12 So, when he had considered this, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of
John whose surname was Mark, where many were gathered together praying. 13 And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a girl named Rhoda came to
answer. 14 When she recognized Peter’s voice, because of her gladness she did not
open the gate, but ran
in and announced that
Peter stood before the
gate. 15 But they said to
her, “You are beside
yourself!” Yet she kept
insisting that it was so.
So they said, “It is his
angel.”

16 Now Peter
continued knocking;
and when they opened
the door and saw him,
they were astonished. 17 But motioning to
them with his hand to
keep silent, he
declared to them how
the Lord had brought
him out of the prison.
And he said, “Go, tell
these things to James
and to the brethren.”
And he departed and
went to another place.
