Day Camp TX - Round Rock Day 3

Today began much like the preceding days, giving the boys time together with their team to discuss how to get the most out of the day, both spiritually and physically. Sports were led by Fr Michael Picard, which included Sonic Ball and Pool-Noodle Hockey. The kids enjoyed hitting each other with the foam noodles! We then moved outside to the field and commenced a vicious game of Border Wars, using face paint to distinguish between the teams and intimidate their opponents. Campers comradery helped to eliminate all intruding forces. 
With the morning activities finishing, the boys made their way to Mass. During Mass, they learned about St William, who is the patron saint of the parish. The Legionaries joined Fr Bruxe, a visiting Paulist priest, who brought his enthusiasm and charisma. 
After Mass, the boys enjoyed the lunch of champions: corn dogs and mac and cheese. This gave them the energy necessary to fend off the deception of the Decepticons. The heightened excitement surrounding the World Cup inspired our next activity. Breaking up into their teams, they fought for their position in our very own tournament. We told the news agencies that we preferred to keep our games private, in spite of all their efforts.     
We finished the day with a meditative rosary led by the campers themselves, and a trans-formation(talk) about the soul and its eternal destiny. The kids departed at 5pm, with team 5 currently in the lead!!
