Thurday Night in Champaign

Week 7 of CHWC 2008 has just wrapped up, and it was a huge success. Dayton, Baton Rouge, Champaign, and Greensboro took place last week. Most of the photos from this week are posted (Dayton will be up very soon). We can hardly believe that this summer is drawing to a close. This week we look foward to serving in Memphis, Boston, St. Louis and Charleston. Please contine to pray for all the campers this week and those residents that we will serve.

Below is a snapshot of Thursday Night program these were taken on Thursday in Champaign.

Our favourite color is Popple.

Popple aka Kyle and Dan is an acoustic humor rock band that is with CHWC for nine weeks of workcamp. They bring an incredible mix of energy, fun, comedy, and worship to our ministry. They are preforming at Twin Cities, Mishawaka, Greensburg, Charlotte, Milwaukee, Prince Frederick, Greensboro, Charleston, and our Mexico camp this summer. The picture above is from Prince Frederick, MD when they teamed with Fr. Geoff, our camp Chaplin, for a set of fast songs which cannot be described by the English language so we will call it as scrumtralescent. Check our more of Popple (and buy their CDs & book them for your own events) at popple.us
We plan to feature more of our CHWC musicians in the coming week. Check back to see the musicians at your camp.

Taco Tuesday/Dance Party

Tuesday night at Catholic HEART Workcamp is a memorable evening. It is Taco Tuesday and The Dance Party. The debate rages on 'which one is superior?' It is a question that will continue to be debated for a long while. Above is a photo taken at the Dance Party in Pittsburgh, PA, it was quite a memorable experience that was had by all. Louisville, Charlotte, Nashville, and Pittsburgh took place this week. By all accounts they were extremely successful. As CHWC 2008 continues on this summer we ask for your prayers and support as we continue to serve the less fortunate and impact the lives of teens across the country.
