Flying Bishops
On July 30, Bishop Andrew Waldo got a taste of life at Camp Gravatt. He shot a little archery, and then as campers and staff watched excitedly,jumped off the Blob - wearing his clerics! We thank Bishop Andrew for being such a great sport. Next year... the Pamper Pole!  To see the video of Bishop Andrew jumping and more photos visit our Gravatt Camp and Conference Center Facebook page. |

What if
Gravatt earned a donation every time you searched the Internet? Or how about if
a percentage of every purchase you made online went to support our cause? It
can! GoodSearch.com
is a Yahoo-powered search engine that donates half its advertising revenue,
about a penny per search, to the charities its users designate. Use it just as
you would any search engine, get quality search results from Yahoo, and watch
the donations add up! GoodShop.com
is an online shopping mall which donates up to 30 percent of each purchase to
your favorite cause. Hundreds of great stores including Amazon, Target, Gap,
Best Buy, eBay, Macy's and Barnes & Noble have teamed up with GoodShop and
every time you place an order, you'll be supporting your favorite cause. And if you
download the GoodSearch - Gravatt Camp and Conference Center toolbar, Gravatt
will earn money every time you shop and search online - even if you forget to
go to GoodShop or GoodSearch first! Add the Gravatt Camp and Conference Center toolbar.
Please sign

improvement.

Go Fish!Measuring the catch
 |
Our first fishing tournament was a great success thanks to Gravatt staff, volunteers, and donors. Twenty-four bass were
measured by 19 anglers. Many great prizes were awarded, and no one went home empty handed.
Showing off
 |
Overall winners were the Mark Tapley and Billy Campbell
Team with seven fish.
We are grateful to all the teams who participated and especially grateful to our sponsors: Eagle Claw, Mountain Khakis, Homewaters Clothing, vineyard vines, Coast Apparel, Red Bone Alley, and USFoods.
The fishing concluded with one the best thunderstorms of the summer. We'll soon begin preparation for next year, as we are planning to make the fishing tournament and annual event.To see all the photos from the fishing tournament, visit the Gravatt Environmental Education Facebook page.
