Summer camp blessings

Sam Pellegrini

Every summer for the past six years I have been going to summer camp. I’ve been to two different camps for Christian Scientists in the western and central parts of the United States. I love camp because I always have a fantastic time, meet other Christian Scientists, and learn more about God and about how to put Christian Science into practice.

Two years ago when I was at camp, I had a great healing during the second week of the session. I was in the “Compound Idea Program,” which includes activities like waterskiing, wakeboarding, and ropes courses. We were having our traditional foil dinner night, where we take sheets of tin foil, fill them up with meat, cheese, and other food, roll them into packets, and cook them over the fire.
