Pre-Camp: Day Three

Day Three (Saturday) of Pre-Camp was blessed with beautiful weather. After breakfast, the campers learned about Ordinary Time on our Liturgical Calendars and decorated pillowcases with a camp design. Since we had such clear skies, we decided to take the kids back to the playground (they were clamoring over it still) and then have a free swim session. 

The afternoon brought an off-campus trip to Abbo's Alley on the campus of Sewanee. 

After a short walk through the woods, we arrived at the clearing with the stream. Some of the kids elected to hunt for creatures in the creek, while others played in the field. 

 We then headed on to All Saints, the chapel on the campus of the University of the South. This chapel is gorgeous and we all took in its beauty. 

 After coming back and having one more swim (much needed after a hot, sticky hike), we cleaned up for our traditional Banquet and Eucharist. 

 Father Mark led us in a children's Eucharist that was lovely. The kids all enjoyed how hands on it was and how they got to be right up close.

We ended the night with a bonfire and stories before heading to bed.
