Summer Camp 2006 ended at 2pm today. Well…actually it ended at 2:30 as the Senior High Guys were late to the final session… We were told that they were cleaning…but I’m guessing a final heart stopping game of 4square somehow made it into cleaning the cleaning list! Thank you to all the staff, campers, and parents for another GREAT year! Christ is in our midst! He IS and ever shall be!
Thursday for the final set of teachings, selected staff members from single, married and monastic walks of life sat on a panel for the senior high campers. Fr. Joseph continued the talk on healthy and well-boundaried relationships for the General Session.

Stephan Sollogoub and Olga Beltchikova, international students who interned with Saint John’s Camp for the week, spoke to the campers on Wednesday about Orthodoxy in France and Russia, respectively.
Yes, we already have it done. We’ll be sending it home with the campers at the end of the week, once again.
By far the best session of “Bishop in the Hotseat” we’ve seen, Archbishop JOB visited the camp on Tuesday to spend some time with the kids during the General Session and allowed them a peek into the widely unknown personal life of an Orthodox bishop. Emily Gibson poured her heart out to the Sr. High during the first session, and we felt it too invasive to post online. Please ask your Sr. High campers what they learned from Emily’s experiential encouragements about premarital relationships.

We were blessed to have Fr. David Rucker from St. Athanasius the Great parish in Nicholasville, KY as our featured speaker on Monday. Part 1 of the lecture was given to the Senior High. Part 2 of the lecture was given in the General Session to all campers.
