Formation

Senior Camp formation is basically a youth group - we talk about topics that have to do with the theme.  These are lead by the Spiritual Director and cabin counselors.

 

Eucharist, Compline & other Worship Times

Eucharist is another word for the service of Communion or Mass - we celebrate this every day, thanks to the Day Clergy who come to camp.  The campers help plan the service - they read the lessons, act out the gospel, preach, sing, lead the prayers of the people and serve the bread and wine. 

Compline is a traditional night-time prayer service. 

Good Night Groups

This is a time of prayer & reflection of the day for the cabin groups.

Formation

Junior Camp formation is very similar to Sunday School - and (surprisingly) the campers LOVE IT!  We have a rotation program where they take part in 3 different pieces - prayer & contemplating the scripture of the day, an art project based on the scripture, and an activity based on the scripture.  It's led by our spiritual director and a team of other counselors.
