The staffers at Camp Mokule'ia were joined by summer camp counselors (pictured at top kicking up their heels and in the slideshow below) who came from every corner of the country, bringing their energy and unique brand of local culture. They made sure to keep their young participants laughing, engaged, and active in a variety of activities. Our own Angela Cainguitan from Good Shepherd on Maui was one of the camp counselors. She is currently attending college on O'ahu, and serves as a voice for the youth on Diocesan Council.
Others from the Diocese that volunteered their time at camp serving as chaplains were the Rev. Daniel Leatherman (St. Timothy's, Aiea), the Rev. Katlin McAllister (Holy Apostles, Hilo), the Rev. Jazzy Bostock (The Cathedral of St. Andrew) and Canon Jenny Wallace. Included in this article are reflections on the Big Island Camp and Day Camp at The Cathedral, and also a few photos from a special day camp with our retired clergy at the bottom of the page! |

"I was really moved and inspired by the commitment of the summer staff. It was a very small gathering of campers but the staff gave their whole hearts and immense energy toward the campers' experience. My favorite memory with the campers was when we held a blessing ritual and blessed each other with sanctified water using ti leaf. We shared in prayer, kindness, and lots of silliness at camp, and I was reminded just how big, delightful and expansive God's love can be." -- The Rev. Katlin McAllister (Holy Apostles, Hilo and Camp Chaplain) (Photos from Camp Mokule'ia)

"Several months ago, Darrell Whitaker from Camp Mokule'ia reached out to the Cathedral of St. Andrew and expressed a desire to offer a summer program for children who lived in urban Honolulu so that they wouldn’t have to travel all the way to the North Shore every day to attend the Camp’s offering there. Recognizing that the Cathedral‘s mission is to serve the wider Diocese, leadership readily agreed to provide space for this urban program, and was delighted not only to have children on the premises –- under the tent, in the Von Holt Room, in the Parke Chapel, and on the great lawn -– but also the youth workers who traveled from Kanuga, North Carolina, to be with the children. The Cathedral looks forward to continuing this kind of collaboration with the Camp and is excited about future collaborations that may be on the horizon." -- The Rev. Cn. Moki Hino, The Cathedral of St. Andrew, Honolulu |

On Tuesday, August 13, 2019, the retired clergy group along with spouses and widows, were invited to spend a day out at Camp Mokule'ia. Vans were arranged to bring them to the camp where they spent time relaxing, enjoying the beach, and also taking a tour with Executive Director, Darrell Whitaker. They enjoyed a delicious lunch and fellowship before heading home.
Many thanks to the Rev. Frank Chun and his wife Norma, who do a marvelous job of keeping our retired clergy, their spouses and widows, connected, active and informed. Pictured above is: (front row) Willis Moore, Alison Dingley, David Kennedy; (back row) Eugenia Park, Simeona and Alex Geston, Norma and Frank Chun, Teena Urban, Jean and (Dcn.) Bob Steele, Hollis and Ethel Maxson. (Missing from photo are Greg Johnson and Dale Burke) (Photos contributed by the Rev. Frank Chun unless otherwise noted in the slideshow.) |
