Last day of our program here at LCLC. It has gone wonderfully well and the camp has been a wonderful place for us. So I was very happy when it was agreed to continue our relationship! We WILL be back at LCLC for Senior High Conference in 2012 this same week (June 24-30)! Get that date on your calendars today.
It was a sad day too because we had several more members of our community have to go home. Sarah V departed on Wednesday so she could attend a gymnastics competition. Today Kelsey left just before lunch, then Sasynda left after lunch and we said goodbye to Mother Ellen and our music leader Chuck in the afternoon. It was a rather quiet afternoon and evening here. To ease our pain from the departure of our friends we all went sailing!
Even though it's the last day our class schedule continued. The schedule itself got juggled because of various people leaving. So the Eucharist was right after breakfast instead of just before lunch and Fr. Ethan folded his last chaplain's time into the service as well. Then Mother Ellen and Liz swapped slots with Liz moving to the morning for the Food Pantry Simulation. In the video we asked a couple of the youth to describe the family situation their character had to deal with.
Later in the day we completed the traditions of Senior High Conference with a special event. Jello Snarfing. This is an annual and quite messy tradition that involves eating bowls of Jello just as quickly as you can without touching them. This involves a coach who moves the bowls into range. Our champion this year was Seth G who consumed three bowls in just 28 seconds. The resident LCLC Lutheran champion was available and a challenge was issued. He begged off claiming he had to do some worship leadership for the camp staff. We have extended the challenge to next summer.
Our day wound down quietly as per usual and we'll get up tomorrow, grab breakfast, pack and then quite reluctantly say good bye. It's been a great week and everyone is excited about coming back next year. There are still more things to explore here at LCLC that we didn't get around to.
