On July 4th, we got to sleep in, because it was Sunday. It was the busiest day so far in the camp season. First, we went to inspection, while Holy Child was in the Chapel. Then, we had Sunday Talk, where all the awards were announced. Joshua P. won Camper of the Week, he’s in my cabin, and Lemuel won it too. Honorable Mentions were given to Erik & Alex. Also, we were told about the theme of the week and that is Intellectually Competent. Then we went to the Chapel and Father Jack led Mass. At Mass all the cabin names were announced. They are: Cabin 1 is “The Navigators” (GPS), Cabin 3 is the “The Cavaliers”, that’s my cabin, and Cabin 4 is “The Outlaws”. Then, we had a scavenger hunt after rest period. We went to the pool and swam for a while then played Water Polo. To top it, we had a BBQ, made by our delightful cook, Val. Then we had our Grade Discussion. Then, to top it off even more, we went to the awesome fireworks. And my 8th grade class stayed till 11 O’clock. A wonderful day all constructed by the staff and Mr. Arte.

Intellectual competence, I see. What of intellectual independence?
ReplyDeleteWhen the latter is missing, the former is immaterial. But as I stand, I see that the latter is lacking; perhaps because it undermines compulsory authority and legislation, and exalts instead charismatic "authority" and natural law.
"To top it, we had a BBQ, made by our delightful cook, Val."
