Heavenly Clues Detective Camp - The Sacramental Cosmos
 

Heavenly Clues Detective Camp - The Sacramental Cosmos will bring children, led by supersleuth Sherlock Holmes, on a journey beyond our planet to see God’s work in creation and see how spiritual investigation into the world around us (and far above us) can reveal insights into our Christian life, especially the Seven Sacraments.

Each day will have the investigators learn about a number of Sacraments, inspired by some part of their interstellar investigations. Leaving on a rocketship to space will inspire thoughts of initiating their spiritual voyage to God through Baptism, Confirmation, and the Eucharist. Recognizing the lack of life on other planets and the pains of the world will remind them of spiritual healing by God in the Anointing of the Sick and Reconciliation. A visit to a future Martian colony will call to mind the spreading of God’s Kingdom, the Church, through the vocations of Matrimony and Holy Orders

Along the way, they will be accompanied by saints of history. Joseph Cupertino will be their Rocketship captain, the Flying Saint flying the ship. St. Albert the Great will be their scientist, exploring the Cosmos! Sts. Louie and Zelie Martin will show how the Church spreads, even to other worlds, by holy family life and the leadership of the priests.

Investigators will further explore the Sacraments in traveling to the Alpha Sinai Lunar Base (Old Testament Room) and the Omega Ecclesia Mars Colony (New Testament Room). They also get a chance to [list potential crafts] in the Fuseria (Snack). All investigators will learn to hymn the God of creation in the Canticle Planetarium.

The week will end with reflections on Mary, Queen of the Universe, and her place in giving us the Sacraments by giving Christ His body.

We will offer two different tracks: 
  
Grades PK4-6 (Ages 6 to 11) will explore the theme with lessons that will have a different focus every day along with Bible stories, games, crafts, music, and snacks. 

Youth Camp, Grades 7-12 (Ages 12 to 15, 15 to 18) The students will help plan the skits for the general assembly and learn some songs, but the main focus for this age-group is the mini-retreat. Every day the youth will have Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and a series of meditations, talks, and activities. Every afternoon they will have different activities, games, and service projects. Youth Camp ends at 3:30 pm. 

• Only teens 12-18 will stay for afternoon activities. They will usuallly end around 3:00.
• Camp begins promptly at 9:00 am and ends at 1:00
