Domain campers on the way

Beginning in early March, all Domain Reading Campers were recruited through principals and teachers that have 3rd and 4th graders from schools in communities all over the Diocese of Lexington.

While some have their parents or parish recruiter take them directly to the Domain, other recruiters and parents drop off their campers to board the Church of the Resurrection bus at Mission House in Lexington.

Nearly half of the 40 recruited campers boarded the bus at Mission House earlier today--many coming from communities surrounding Lexington like Cynthiana, Frankfort, and Versailles.

After checking in for camp, parents and recruiters are encouraged to send their campers mail during the week while volunteers double-check emergency contact information and receive camper medicines and while baggage is loaded and volunteer bus riders hop on board with the campers for the journey to the Domain.

Several campers are returning campers from last year and a few of the new campers had never before been away from home. All were excited to see the pictures of Reading Camps of years past and all the wonderful things they get to do as a camper at the Cathedral Domain.

After the hour and a half bus ride, campers arrived at the Domain at about 2pm for the 7th year of Reading Camp at the Cathedral Domain. Campers return to Mission House Saturday morning, June 28. Stay tuned for more news from the Domain Reading Camp during the week.
