Featured!

I am delighted to report that Catholic Kids' Day Camp had a feature article (written by Sarah) in the September Issue of the Diocese of Joliet Magazine Christ is Our Hope. If you are visiting the blog for the first time because you read the article, welcome! :)

We are also thrilled to share a video of the Day 4 CKC 2012 Skit on the Glorious Mysteries. Even though it was filmed on a small camera, hopefully you find that the film still conveys a sense of the wonder, mystery, and beauty! After all, it's not every day that one gets a dramatization of such supernatural events as the Resurrection, Ascension, Pentecost, Assumption, and Coronation. ;)

CKC has a "trailer"!

ENJOY! (Full screen suggested)

[With thanks to volunteer Cesar!]

Deo Gratias!

A Glimpse at CKC Music Recording!

Last weekend we began the fun (and sometimes tedious) project of recording the new, original music — theme song and others — for Catholic Kids' Day Camp 2012!

Our skillful young choristers!

Spirits are high...

...and lots of smiles!

*Action shot*

I simply can't figure out why blogger insists on keeping this picture turned...but it's too fun not to include, so you'll have to turn your head (or the computer!) sideways to enjoy it. =)

Please keep praying for all the preparations, especially the continued music recording and the in-progress story coloring book!
