Monday afternoon was a BLAST! Unsure if the rain would hold out, the staff made a quick decision to have dancing tonight. So we practiced our moves to prepare quickly. Then we play Prisoners Base, which is an all time favorite camp game. Afterwards we had some delicious watermelon, and played some more. Then off to bed we went for yet another day of what is Summer Camp 2013.
Monday morning was a fantastic time with an opening session with the Senior High Campers by Father Joel Weir while the younger kids went to separate teachings led by their counselors. Father Joel gave a great talk about what love is and how the world perceives love and uses it to embellish the true meaning of love. After lunch the campers went out to have fun and see what Rivervale had in store. The video down below shows some of the activities in which they participated. Enjoy!

The start of camp came and finished with a lot of fun, entertainment, and campers excited about the week ahead. We started the week with some new icebreakers, which shocked high school campers who were used to traditional camp games. Pizza was then served, and led into a vibrant time of praise that was truly amazing. Afterwards campers were led back to the cabins, where they had time for more cabin bonding, unpacking and dorm devotions with some of the priests that are with us this week. The priests also took the time to bless the cabins, and then it … Continue reading
Saint John’s Camp 2013 is officially on the go! Four o’clock is here and campers have started trickling in for this years fun in the sun. Here is some of the fun things that the staffers did the night before in preparation for the arrival of the campers. The second half of the first video shows the “glass is half full” attitude engendered by our amazing staff, who, after having to miss out on the much anticipated “staff swim” due to thunderstorms, decided to put some soap on the rain covered slip n’ slide and enjoy themselves anyway. 🙂 Thanks … Continue reading

We had an excellent evening in the pool last night after some awesome Tae-Kwon-Do lessons from Mark Clevenger. This morning we all traveled into town to spend time at a nursing home called Mitchell Manor. Our priests went and prayed for some of the ailing patients while others sang and played bingo with elderly folks in the home. The Lord continues to bless our time together. Please continue to pray for our directors, counselors, priests and campers this week! See the videos below for a peek into the Tae Kwon Do and Nursing Home visit times!

This week sure is flying right bye. Fr. Joseph Gibson arrived this morning and gave a teaching to the older children. It’s nice to have him back at camp! The heat index is rather high for the day so our canoe trip for the afternoon activity was rescheduled for Friday. Tonight we will have Mark Clevenger (a black-belt tae-kwon-do instructor from St’s Constantine & Elena) teaching the children some basic tae-kwon-do; followed by pool time/rock climbing. We’re looking forward to seeing visitors for Thurday night’s No-Talent-Night!
