Parents are encouraged to register their children early to secure a place in this inspiring journey. Here’s everything you need to know about this unique experience designed for young explorers.

I’ll create an image for this event showcasing a lake scene with a small sailboat navigating calm waters at sunset, symbolizing faith and adventure in a tranquil setting. The boat, painted in soft Easter colors, will be depicted with children on board, symbolizing the KidsTeam event and its emphasis on joy, fellowship, and faith in a peaceful, family-friendly atmosphere. The sky in warm orange and pink tones will represent the hope and renewal of the Easter season.

Easter Celebration with KidsTeam Lausanne-Renens

To bring the Easter story of hope to life, this KidsTeam event will immerse children in a day filled with engaging and meaningful activities. Under the theme “Les Navigateurs du Lac” and inspired by the Biblical account of Jesus calming the storm (Mark 4:35-40 ), this event provides a unique platform for children to explore their faith through games, crafts, and group interactions.

Crafting and Creativity: Celebrating Easter and Spring

Children will dive into hands-on craft activities that blend Easter themes with the joys of spring. Workshops will encourage them to explore their creativity with seasonal crafts that also mirror the “navigators” theme. In the past, activities like origami boat folding have been a big hit, helping kids create paper boats as symbols of faith and resilience, and this tradition will continue this year with new and engaging crafts.

Afternoon Snack and Shared Memories

The day will conclude with a delightful snack time at 4:00 pm, allowing the children to relax, share stories, and enjoy a time of fellowship with new friends. To add an extra dose of fun, special surprises—such as a puppet show—are often planned to make the day even more memorable. In previous years, children have delighted in the vibrant storytelling of these puppet performances, which are designed to teach values in a way that’s both entertaining and meaningful.

A Memorable Day of Growth and Discovery

Set aside March 29th on your calendar for this adventure! “Les Navigateurs du Lac” is more than just a one-day gathering; it’s a chance for each child to grow in faith, build new skills, and feel supported on their personal journey. With activities ranging from puppet shows to creative workshops, every part of the event is crafted to boost each child’s confidence and help them navigate life’s challenges with resilience and joy.

Recommended Easter Reading for Families

This interactive guide offers a collection of stories and activities designed to engage both children and parents.

Additionally, a dedicated page at the end of each meditation reinforces the essential truths of Easter, offering a creative space for children to draw, decorate, or write their thoughts.
