Then a dance party ensued, and fun was had by all. The girl groups had the opportunity to go out and do a few low ropes stations. Mass was celebrated in the evening, when the half the teens came back from whitewater rafting all day, and the evening session focused on the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Read more [...]
Teens started the last full day of camp with praise and worship led by Chris Taucar and a walking rosary in their small groups. Kickball warmed the teens up for the afternoon which brought messy games consisting of paint, oatmeal and flour, water, and sleeping bags. A soap soaked slip and slide attempted to clean everyone off but was not successful. The whole messy group jumped in the lake and showered afterwards. Once they were all clean, the night session began beholding the mystery of prayer starting with Mass and followed by Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. The sacraments were celebrated by parish priest from St. Agnes, Fr. Tom Albrechg. Host Joe Chernowski led the teens deep into the session inspiring them to go to Jesus for everything.
The fourth day of “Behold the Mystery” Summer Camp mainly consisted of tubing down Farmington River in Connecticut.

Day 3 with Life Teen campers of week 9 at Covecrest opened up early for half of the camp, who went whitewater rafting while the other half stayed at camp to do high and low ropes courses.

The third day of “Behold the Mystery” Life Teen Summer Camp began with fun as guys went to the pool first and girls bonded during low ropes.

Teens started the second day of camp with scripture reflections and small groups introducing them to each other and to the “Behold the Mystery” theme. They were sent out on Mission Adventure, where teens and chaperones had to complete different tasks to get clues and solve the mystery of what each “Agent of Change” did with what holy item at what holy place. After lunch, teens bonded over a game of flag tag and their choice of hiking, basketball, Frisbee golf, Ga ga, or rosary making. Since the teens protected their chaperones Monday night through the obstacle course, the chaperones got a chance to serve their teens by washing the feet of each teen during the night session. Once the group commemorated Christ’s washing of His disciples feet, it reenacted the Last Supper with Mass celebrated by Fr. Matt Williams followed by Adoration. Host Joe Chernowksi and musician Chris Taucar led the teens deeper into their faith.
