CAMP KINGSTON, CRAPAUD

The third thing I would like to speak ot‘is the work of our Anglican Centre at Crapaud. and our Anglican youth camps and music camps. I hope these will grow and develop, but this will require concern and interest on the part of the people as a whole. It must not be left to a few - although there will always have to be a few who will spark the activities. It is so easy to be Archdeacon and have a certain amount of success (I hate that word - but it is a word that people understand). but it is only possible because of the follow-up and support and backup you receive. 1 must say that during my time as Archdeacon on the Island the backup ofour priests and laity has been tremendous.
