Recap of Day One -- June 19 2006

Hello Parents and Friends of Tahoe 2006 youth.
Yesterday was an exciting and exhausting day. We had a very pleasant bus trip and arrived at approximately 1:30 pm. We did several activities including an orientation game that helps the youth become familar with their surroundings.
We ate at 5:30 and then really got into the theme of the day--Unplugging. We are using the story of the Wizard of Oz to help the youth make the connection of faith life as a journey. Below are some of the pictures from the drama featuring Dorothy and three munchkins. The story is being told in a hip-hop-rap style, and it is brilliant, really really funny, and......... I am amazed at the talent and giftedness of the young adults who have taken this project on and deliver a polished, professional, and human faith message to the youth who attend this retreat.

Today we have been busy with workshops, rec time, and will elebrate Mass together at the amphitheater that overlooks the lake.
i have nor sent pictures today--i needed a little time to rest a bit. But get ready for another series of pics that will help give you a glimpse of what we do here at Tahoe.

Blessings,
