Sunday Evening Vespers
Each Sunday evening the entire camp community gathers at the council fire for a time of sharing and reflection about camp. This time provides an opportunity to take some moments at the end of a busy week (or in this case, a busy first day at camp) to think about friends, family, and the camp experience. This week’s theme was “Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff”, and counselors and campers shared stories, poems, and songs. Next week’s theme: “Family, Relationships, and Connections.”

“Back at camp in ADV center room for my eighth year of camp. I remember sitting in a similar spot a summer ago contemplating if I would return. My first inclination was to stay home and get a job and make money, however, I knew in my heart I would return to the place I love the most. The truth is that I’ve been at camp so long I wouldn’t know how to spend my time and I would probably become very lazy. So now I’m sitting here as the first day of camp is wrapping up and I already feel right at home. I have seen all the familiar faces and the good friends I have made over the past few years. Really that is what the first day is all about: seeing those faces you remember and those you haven’t met yet while preparing for another memorable summer at Camp Pok-O-MacCready.”
