Forty-five young people be gan the trip, but by week's end, more were signing on board daily with the purser, Pat Brin- dle. They then donned their life vests and joined their fellow life boat crews. The crews were mixed groups of kindergartners through fifth graders, directed through ports of call by the first mates: Kristi Worden, Paula Spicerkuhn, Sarah Eckman, Julie Proctor, Kelsie Greenup, Colleen McElligott, Miranda McElligott, Josie Proctor and Adam McCabe. The week's daily themes of the crucifixion and resurrec tion, love, forgiveness and the sharing of love and forgive ness, were emphasized in each port of call's activities by the adult crew: "Sin g 'n Play" Kathy Britt, "C rafts” June Crowell, "G alley” Pat Doug herty, "Bible Land Shore Ex cursions” Mary Haguewood, "Sh ip R ec" Scott Johnson and "C in em a" Jeri McElligott. The preschoolers enjoyed their own week's program with Kathy Cutsforth and Anne Morter, joining the older Children for some ports of call. "Active learning was the key to the week's success," says Teresa Pihl, program coor dinator. Every 25 minute seg ment of the day involved the children with the day's theme. Even the galley snacks, pre pared each day by a different life boat crew in chefs' hats that“ Dougherty made them, em phasized the themes. Family and frineds attended "Show Tim e" each day to watch the children's theme- related entertainment: active songs, a game show, art and dramas. Father Gerry Condon, a behind-the-scenes promoter of the week, was called upon to participate in "Show Tim e" as a game show contestant and as a Roman soldier. As the week ended, Pihl said that the students would re member the lessons from Bible stories about Jonah, Noah and Jesus, the songs, games, crafts, and the cinema about "Chad- der Chipmunk".
