2010 Summer Camping   

 

Join us for "Heroes for God" 2010 Camping

Our 2010 Theme, "Heroes for God"
This summer, we will hear remarkable stories about youth and adult heroes in the Bible and in our contemporary world. Heroes do not usually "leap from tall buildings in a single bound," instead, heroes act with courage to proclaim the "Good News" and live like Jesus to befriend, welcome, and care for others ... especially the poor and the marginalized. We will also celebrate the wonders of Long Island's north shore ecology, climb the rock wall, canoe, swim, and more...

The Summer Program, Ages 7-13:
Every week a new group of campers is welcomed by an enthusiastic and well-trained staff. Campers reside in cabins groups with up to ten children and two counselors. The daily schedule includes camp-wide worship, small-group Bible study, and swimming. Campers select additional activities that are appropriate to their age group. A special theme is integrated into the day's activities. The facilitated challenge course and adventure activities develop leadership and team building skills. Campers discover the wonders of creation founding native plants, animals, and shore life. Weekly trips may include canoeing on the Peconic, Carmans or Nissequogue Rivers, offsite camping and hiking, visits to beaches and nature preserves.

Celebration:
The rhythm of daily worship, Bible study, and community time is at the heart of camp life. The community celebrates together in Daily Evening Prayer and a weekly Eucharist. The campers experience Bible stories through art, drama, music, games, and discussion in lessons that inform young people that God and spirituality relate directly to their own lives at camp and at home. A full-time chaplain, working with visiting Diocesan clergy, coordinates the services, classes, and pastoral care.
