Camp Three: All Saint's Service

We finished our fun day in Sewanee with a candlelit service at All Saint's Chapel, the school chapel for the University of the South. We had been talking about Baptismal Covenants in chapel that day and so we renewed our baptismal covenants that night. 


Here we are about to go inside the chapel:

We ended the night with a trip to the Memorial Cross to sing some silly songs:

Camp Three: Picnic

After a fun time running around Abbo's Alley, we headed up to University Avenue. We split into two groups - one went to Sweet CeCe's Ice Cream Shop and the other group went to the Bookstore and then we swapped. After a nice time of cooling off and getting some souvenirs, we hit up the playground to play and have a picnic. 


Here we are at Sweet CeCes:

The last stop for the night was All Saints Chapel for a candle-lit service!

Camp Three: Sewanee Day Trip

Yesterday we spent the whole afternoon and evening in Sewanee. Our first stop was Abbo's Alley, a nature walk in the heart of Sewanee's campus.


We started out at the gazebo and creek:

Some of the girls elected to braid hair in the gazebo:

After much creek time, we headed on the trail back up to the main road:

We finished up the trail and then were on our way to the next stop- the bookstore and ice cream shop!

Camp Three: Update on the Cross Project

As I've mentioned before, we took on an art project for the summer. When we met with the Dubose board, they wanted us to think about a piece of "kid-like" art that we could create and put up in Dubose to represent camp's presence. 


Charles Houston got creative right away and came up with our Cross Project idea. He took two metal rods, connected them with a piece of wood, and cut wooden blocks for us to decorate for the crosses. It has been an ongoing project this summer and we're almost done (just in time for the end of camp!). 


We've got one cross complete (Lincoln is our size reference model here):

Yesterday the kids worked on the blocks for the second cross. Here we are in the art barn:

And then we were off to our day-trip to Sewanee!
