Eighty-five campers from around the state, and as far as Chicago and Kansas City participated July 29-August 4 at Camp Phoenix. Children, like the 15 at camp from St. Stephen’s, Ferguson, loved seeing their clergy, the Rev. Steve Lawler, and Pastoral Intern Stephen Robin who visited, led songs, and joined them for a portion of their camp experience. Bishop Wayne Smith also talked to the children about mission on Friday, and gave a presentation on our Companion Relationship with Lui Sudan.

On Saturday, campers’ parents and family members joined them for a final camp Eucharist: the largest gathering of Episcopalians from around the state this summer with over 250 participants.
