With the guidance of a wonderful youth ministry team from Montreal, the Anglican Missions of Fort Pitt and Onion Lake hosted a day camp from July 23-27th. Located at the Fort Pitt Hall, the day camp ran from 10am until 3pm daily, with an average of well over 30 children in attendance each day. Approximately 16 children attended from the Fort Pitt and Paradise Hill areas, with an equal or greater number from Onion Lake First Nation.

The camp was led by volunteers with Cross Talk ministries, a Montreal-based youth evangelism organization that specializes in summer camps. Christopher Loughheed, Elizabeth Irwin, and Zachary Garoufalis guided the children through a week of bible stories, crafts, and games.

The week concluded with a closing service in All Saints’ Church, Fort Pitt, at which children sang, led pryers of intercession, and showed off their handy work in the vestment worn by the Rev’d Christopher Snook.

The youth ministry team was supported by a tireless team of local volunteers, including Marjorie Steele, Helen Steele, Katie Gadsby, Kathy Moore, Florence Harper, Ivy Houle, Pastor Martin Naistus, and Lori Stockman.

Many thanks to everyone who helped make this camp such a success.

To God be the Glory!
