Week 2, Day 2 Recap

Please keep praying for our campers... tomorrow, half of the group will be traveling to Helen, GA (about 45 minutes away) to go tubing and have fun at a water park while the other half will be tackling the high and low ropes challenge courses.

Today was a fun day!
We don't want to give up too many details about Summer Camp because we don't want to spoil it for our future campers.

Today, we celebrated Mass. Father Jose was the main Presider.


The Final Blessing:

Here are a few words from Life Teen President Randy Raus about Summer Camp:

"So what are the Life Teen / EDGE Catholic Summer Camps up to this year? Our Theme is 'Discover the Sacred' and all week long we will be discovering the awesomeness of what is Sacred in our self, family, friends and what is sacred in our faith."

Pray for us!
