Camp Two: Opening Eucharist.

Yesterday was the first day of Camp Two! This is our middle school age group and is our largest of the four camps with 47 campers. Everyone arrived excited and ready to go yesterday. We started with swim test after moving in, then had free swim, then ate dinner (spaghetti, of course), and had our Opening Eucharist. 


Our priest this week is from the Diocese of West Tennessee - James Newsom, a parishioner at Grace St. Luke's and the chaplain of St. George's Independent School's urban campus. James is a part of our camp family, as his children all went to camp and then last year he was finally able to join us, since his youngest had graduated from camp. James plays the guitar and has a real connection with young people. 

We also have another special guest with us this week, a volunteer by the name of Dr. Andrew. Dr. Andrew is also a returning volunteer and serves as our "camp doc." He attends St. George's in Nashville and works at Vanderbilt. He is generous in giving his time to be with us. He plays the guitar and so you'll see him in our pictures of the music team this week. 

The Opening Eucharist was the perfect way to set the tone for the week and kick off the session. Here are some more pics:
