Camp Living Waters set for July 23 – 28 | |
|
Help your children, aged 9 to 15, avoid the mid-summer doldrums, send them to Camp Living Waters, an Episcopal summer camp set for July 23 to 28 at Cookson Ranch in Redwood Valley.
Camp Living Waters is a week-long Episcopal summer camp. It is a non-profit camp based at St. Alban's parish in Arcata and draws its staff members from the faith communities of the north coast who lead, supervise and encourage campers and counselors. Its week is based around a daily schedule including crafts, outdoor activities, swimming, Bible discussion, worship, and nightly campfire, with additional special activities throughout the week such as stargazing and archery. Campers aged 9 to 15 make new friendships and explore their faith and ask questions; counselors get to do that and learn leadership skills in a supportive atmosphere. The week is spent living and building a Christian community based on the values of love, service and fun.
Tuition for the camp is $200 and includes five nights lodging, meals, and activities. For information or to register for the Camp go to www.camplivingwatershumboldt.org or call St. Alban's Episcopal Church at (707) 822-4102. Contact St. Alban's if you are interested in a campership (scholarship).

The Trinity Cathedral Choir Schedules English Cathedral Pilgrimage for July | |
The Trinity Cathedral Choir of Sacramento is heading to England in July, to be "in residence" at Exeter Cathedral, while their regular choirs are on summer break. The choir will be singing the daily evensong services plus the Sunday morning Eucharist during their time at Exeter. The music to be sung for each of the seven services during the week must be different each day, so there is quite a lot of music for the choir to get through!
David Link, Canon Precentor & Director of Music at Trinity Cathedral says that this is the choir's sixth pilgrimage to England, having previously sung at Canterbury, Lincoln, Wells, Winchester, Chichester, Salisbury, Truro, and Norwich Cathedrals, and York Minster and Westminster Abbey.
For more details about the choir's residency at Exeter Cathedral, see here:
