Michigan K of C State Camp Out 2019
- Tue, Sep 17, 2019 7:30 PM
August 23-24, Coldwater Lake Family Park
My Brothers and Sisters in Christ, you missed an awesome time if you didn’t join us at the annual State Campout. The weekend was a great success and a fun time was had by all.
Highlights included:
An outdoor Mass, multiple bonfires, a 50/50 Raffle and a plentiful potluck.
An exciting water balloon volleyball game. No winners just loads of fun.
Fishing Tournament: Won by Ben and Molly Avery.
Bean Bag Toss tournament: Won by our Worthy State Advocate Barry Borsenik
and daughter Olivia.
All 4 Principals of the Knights of Columbus were visible.
Charity: A total of $440.00 was raised, with $220 given to the Sacred Heart
Major Seminary by our Worthy State Deputy William Chasse.
Rumor has it that our State Deputy- Bill Chasse and our Worthy State Secretary-
Walter Winkle lost their match, in the Bean Bag Toss Tournament, to the Metiva
Brothers on purpose so that our Worthy State Advocate- Barry Borsenik and his
Daughter Olivia could win. That my Brothers is Charity at its best.
Unity: Unfamiliar to many, the Volleyball Water Balloon event was enjoyed by all
who participated. Grandparents, moms, dads, sons, daughters and friends tried
to catch over 240 balloons, with some coming over the net 8 at a time which
made for a wet and sandy game of fun and laughter. Some on the sidelines were
involuntarily included in the wet fun. Many comments were made in hoping this
event will be held again next year. A BIG thank you to the Avery family for filling all
the balloons. Job well done. It was stated that next year there should be more
balloons, because the fun ended too quickly.
Fraternity: A beautiful outdoor Mass, followed by a potluck and bonfire were
enjoyed by all. 100% participation made this camp out a success!
Patriotism: The Love of our Country was evident from the patriotic displays on
many of the campers and trailers at the campground.
