Testimonials For 3G
Here’s what some of the campers have to say about the Girls, God and Good Times Benedictine camp!
“One activity we did was a reflection prayer. While a sister read a reflection and prayed, we shut our eyes and thought of a holy word. You could feel the presence of God.”
“My favorite memories of 3G camp was spending time with the sisters. We did so many choices of crafts. I also learned the life skills of keeping my room tidy, to not waste food and to save electricity.”
“Overall, 3G camp was amazing and I would definitely send girls going into 5th or 6th grade for an unforgettable experience.”
“It was so much fun. I loved learning about all the Benedictine values. I also loved the camp song a lot.”
“One of my favorite memories of 3G camp was lectio divina. I liked how we would pick a word or sentence from a bible passage that stuck out or touched your heart. We would write what we thought it meant and what it teaches us.”
“My favorite memory is having the ice cream social with the sisters. I loved how they told about their lives so we could connect with them. It is really nice knowing about what it’s like being a sister.”
“I liked when Sister Alice came to ask me about camp. I told her I liked it because there are girls my age where I can express my religion and feel comfortable.”
“I enjoyed swimming because everyone was having a good time. I enjoyed everyone’s sense of humor and everyone’s contagious smile. I loved our camp counselor because she liked praying with us and helping us grow closer to God.”
“One of my favorite memories of 3G camp is when we got to have Q and A with the sisters. It was fun to listen to their stories of when and why they became a sister. I also got to meet a bunch of new friends.”
“I can’t just pick one moment. I can’t even pick one day to be my favorite. I have to pick all three days of 3G camp! This camp has been something I look forward to every summer. Thank you so much for making this camp such a wonderful and memorable camp. All the amazing counselors with their enthusiasm and energy helped make this camp a place where I can be myself. It’s a place where everyone is so accepting. I had a great time with my group, the Pink Flamingos, doing things like dancing, shopping, swimming, singing, making up songs and talking. I also had a great time with the sisters! I loved playing bingo and getting to know the sisters while eating ice cream, doing crafts and I thought it was really cool how we got to learn about a sister’s life through questions and answers. Thank you Sisters of the Order of Saint Benedict for sharing your time, crafts, knowledge and values with me and my fellow campers that I now call friends. Maybe in a few years I could be a College of Saint Benedict counselor! Thank you so much!”
