Camp One, Day Six.

 Friday of Camp One was another beautiful, fun day. The morning was spent on our final chapel program, how you listen to God's call for you and how it influences your live and your interactions with others. Family groups spent time closing up and saying goodbyes. 


That afternoon we had several on campus activities. First we had a block of choices where the campers could prepare for the night ahead - they could choose songs for the Eucharist and set up the chapel, decorate for the banquet, or bake bread for the Eucharist. 

After that the campers got changed and we headed to the field for games and slip 'n slide:

The weather was just perfect - beautiful blue skies, warm air but a good breeze. Ideal for camp and much appreciated after storms earlier in the week. 

After the slip n' slide, we swam at the pool before going to our cabins to get ready for the night ahead. The campers gussied up for the banquet and Eucharist. 


Here's Cabin 6:

And here's almost all of Cabin 5:

The banquet decorations always include colored lemonade. 

Co-Director Cameron Swallow invited her husband to the banquet (they live in Sewanee) because it was their 21st wedding anniversary!

A banquet isn't complete without the kitchen lovelies' fudge pie:

Closing Eucharist - seems like we had just opened with a Eucharist! The week of camp flies by. Worshipping together on the last night of camp is always so special. 

Praying for our graduates:

A picture of the Calvary group from Memphis, being silly:

After the Eucharist the staff scurried to set up for the dance. Here's Cameron in her fine evening wear helping Callie assemble a speaker stand. Silly silly. 

After the dance we had a bonfire and then sent the kiddos off to bed. Of course it was the last night so they didn't really sleep - so we made them pack! 


What a great week of Camp One! Another session in the books for the year. Stay tuned for updates about Camp Two, which is kicking off their session now.
