Family Day 2016 (June 5, 2016)

June 5, 2016 -- Over 200 Faithful gathered for the Camp Nazareth Family Day celebration which is the kick-off to the Summer Season at Camp Nazareth. The day began with the Divine Liturgy celebrated by His Grace Bishop Gregory. It concluded with a torrential rain storm but it had held off for the entire day allowing for swimming, crafts, the High Ropes Course dedication, and climbing on the course.

Priests don't do Ropes Courses do they?...
...Yes they do!
Watch this sequence of events on the "Pamper Pole" which is the affectionate name given to this element. -- climb to the top and jump. This brother sister pair did it but let's see how it happened.
Brother to sister: "So are you doing to stand up or what?"
They had to pull a switch-a-roo to get both up there at the same time.
But they did it and were all smiles after it was done!!
