A View from St. Michael’s Chapel

This is the view from St. Michael’s Chapel in the Kerr Building at Rock Point!  It has been an amazing summer.  The “Holy Rhythm” of  Rock Point Summer Camp is attending services four times a day.  Morning Devotion before breakfast;  Eucharist or Noon Day prayer before lunch; Evening Devotion  or Eucharist before dinner and Compline before bed. 

The Bell and View from the Chapel

Here is a picture of the young people of the High School Camp pointing at the bell.  The Bell which hangs in the tower of the chapel building is on loan to us from the Naval History and Heritage Command.  It is a ship bell from the USS PONCHATOULA (AO148).  Every summer we send the Dept of Navy a letter and pictures letting them know the condition of the bell.

Community Service at Rock Point

Today the amazing young people worked around Rock Point.   Some  stained the outside of Butterfield, some painted the bathroom stalls in the cabins, some cleaned the Craft Cabin and the Rock Point closet and others weeded and weed wacked the front of the conference center.  14 hardworking, good natured young people plus a wonderful staff!!

The second shift came in and served and cleaned up.  I am very, very proud of this group of young people and their counselors.  A job well done!!

Lake Monsters followed by Fireworks!

Extended High School Camp began on Friday night.  We all went to a Lake Monsters Game.  The Lake Monsters lost but the fireworks after the game were fabulous!  A game of ‘ninja’ was played in the parking lot while we were waiting for rides home!
