Children and youth join their own
loving
lively morning programs.
Lunch - Each meal begins with grace
led by a different "cabin" or house.
Afternoon - First, an all-camp quiet
time, then choose from an endless
variety of activities including tennis,
softball, Frisbee, rowing a boat or
swimming in the lagoon, sitting on the
porch on a rocking chair while reading
or visiting, playing with the kids at
one of the playgrounds, participating
in a discussion group or a yoga class,
tie dyeing a shirt, taking a walk on a
wooded trail or just taking a nap!
Dinner - Isn't it nice not to have to
cook, clean or shop for five days and
there's even a salmon bake on the
beach.
Evening - Time for campfires, vespers, a
talent show, folk dancing and a snack
before bed including an ice cream
social. Enjoy watching the sunset
from the top of the hill at Pines.

Music & Community:
Music is an important part of camp. Rawn
Harbor, our presenter last year, will be our
Camp Musician this year. We are glad to
have him leading us in music. He will work
with children and adults during our
morning program.
Most afternoons there are informal jam
sessions and talent show practices.
Evenings feature campfires, vespers,
song circles, a concert with Rawn Harbor
and our famous talent show (bring your
instruments and skit props).
Creation in Color:
Embracing & Celebrating Difference
During our week together we will reflect on
how our passion for racial justice is rooted in
the central truth that the world was created
beautifully diverse – with a love for all
things and all people. Understanding that
many of us struggle with finding words and
actions that live out this love, we will spend
the week exploring this together. We will be
introduced to the six stages of the Inclusivity
Spectrum: Tolerance, Acceptance, Respect,
Affirmation, Solidarity and Critique.
Participants will gain a common language
on the realms of racism that will improve
our ability to engage in these sacred
conversations.
Workshops will challenge and inspire us to
be a voice for justice in the world and will
empower us to build up the “kindom” where
we recognize that all of humanity is part of
God’s “creation in color.”
Middle & High School Youth
Programs (grades 6-12)
The Youth Program consists of incoming
6th grade - outgoing 12th grade youth. The
morning time will also focus on “Creation in
Color.” The youth will build community
through singing, playing and sharing in
discussions and activities. Middle and high
school youth will start the morning together,
and then break out into separate age groups.
