Camp Three: Day Six.

Last day of camp! Friday was full of fun, especially the end of the night.

We started out in the chapel one more time:

Then we went to family group to make our faith trees and prayers:

We came back as a group and shared the trees:

Then we announced cabin cleanup - Cabin Five for the win!

We played magic tambourine one more time:

Then we went to morning activities - swimming and the pavilion!

In the afternoon we broke out the slip n slide again by popular request and opened up the pool:

We headed to the cabins just in time for a quick summer storm - which luckily passed before we had to be up at dinner!

Then it was time to have the banquet!

 Then we had the closing Eucharist:

Then we had our big carnival!

Then, after lots of candy and fun, it was time to say goodnight.

And Saturday morning brought goodbyes and see you next years.

And that's the end of our story for this year. Goodbye and thank you for an amazing month of camp! Take me home, country roads...

Camp Three: Part Five.

Thursday morning of Camp Three was spent doing service activities in our community as a part of our overall chapel theme of faith and acts.

Two of the groups loading the bus - one went down into Sherwood to help decorate their community center for homecoming. Another group went to St. Mary's Convent in Sewanee to help tend the lavender garden for Thistle Farms and their organic vegetable garden.

The other group went to the nursing home across the street from us. They first learned about caring for elderly people and practiced songs to sing:

Here's some of the group that went to the convent... first, visiting the gardens where they grow ingredients for their jams and jellies:

Weeding the organic vegetable garden that feeds the nuns:

After service it was lunch time!

Mail call!

Then we went into Sewanee to swim at Lake Cheston:

A group also played volleyball:

Then we headed back to campus for our slip n slide. Nothing like a huge tarp, water, and a ton of soap to brighten the day!

Later that night after a mandatory shower time in cabins and then dinner, we had cabin skits and coffee house:

And that was Thursday!
