Day 5, the last day, started off with some joyful singing and a short skit at the Sing & Play Blast.  For some children the mood was a little somber because they did not want the Polar Expedition to end.

Day 5's Bible Point was "Jesus' love is for everyone."  Our Bible Story was "Philip teaches the Ethiopian (Acts 8:26-39).  The Bible verse for the day was: "He told them, 'This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations. . . You are witnessed of these things'" -- From Luke 24:46-48.

At the Glacier Games venue, the children played Celebration Toss.  They tossed water-filled Happy birthday balloons to represent the Ethiopian eunuch on a desert road that Philip baptized and shared the message of Jesus love.

In Cool Crafts, the kids were given an opportunity to make any of the crafts they had made during the past four days.  It also gave an opportunity for a child to make a craft if he or she missed one day.

In today's adventure at Chadder's Snow Show our chipmunk hooked up with Janna Snowblazer as she was about to head out with her dog sled team to deliver supplies to explorers who need them.  Chadder discovers that sled dogs are much more than pets and that they are well prepared to pull heavy loads across the snow.  They work together as a team to accomplish their task.  The sled dogs reminded Chadder that Jesus' love is for everyone and that we can work together to make sure everyone knows about Jesus!  Chadder also recapped the lessons he learned from nature that have reminded him some wonderful truths about Jesus.  They marked their book Bibles at Luke 24:46-48.

A skit about a royal official from Ethiopia was seen at the Bible Exploration venue.  The official was sad and confused by some writing he found on a scroll.  But Philip was able to explain the Jesus' love is for everyone and the Ethiopian decided to believe in Jesus and had Philip baptize him.

At Igloo Eats, several crews made Polar Population Provisions (otherwise known as Trail Mix) for the rest of the Expedition crews.  The provisions were for all people who need to know about Jesus' love.

The day ended at the Ice Station Celebration where the students learned, through a reinforcement exercise, that Jesus' love is for everyone.
