E.O.C. (Episcopal Outreach Camp) - July 13 - 16: Local mission camp for middle school teens (based here at St. Peter's) for rising 7th through 9th graders. The focus this year is on assisting Jackson Park Ministries renovate housing for families in transition. We will also help them with their food pantry and clothing closet ministries. We will also spend an afternoon at Lake Norman. We close the camp with a Holy Eucharist on the last day at 6 PM.
H.U.G.S. Camp (Helping Understand God through Service): Jul 6 - 13. Held at Haw River State Park (formerly the NC Diocesan Camp near Greensboro) for rising 8th graders through college. This camp is fun and very rewarding, assisting campers with mental and physical disabilities to have a great camp experience. "Helper Campers" have a fun camp experience, too! Application available through Lyn or online at www.episdionc.org and then click on Youth Ministry, then HUGS Camp. Transportation to and from the camp as well as Scholarship funds can be provided!
Mississippi Mission Trip - July 27 - Aug 2. Join our friends from the Carolina Connection (St. Martin's, St. Peter's and Holy Comforter) to help Katrina victims rebuild their homes in Bay St. Louis for a third summer. We will stay at Mission on the Bay again this year and we will include a half day fun-trip .
We will also have Taize, Dinner and a Movie nights throughout the summer. They are scheduled for Wednesdays, June 25, July 2, August 6, August 13 and August 20 - This is a laid-back, easy-going opportunity for summer fellowship among the members of the youth group and leaders. It's a nice way to add a little bit of quiet worship/meditation to your life that most of our teens really love (Taize), and fellowship during dinner and then a shared movie experience. Sometimes discussion of the movie is fun too - a chance to see if secular movies can provide spiritual growth, which they often do! And, as always, the group will decide on the movie, as long as it's PG or PG13!
