In 1974 heavy rain forced the event indoors, but the convenient proximity- of St. John's Church to the Camp enabled the close to 300 people who braved the elements to be accommodated (above). In such ways parochial isolation was broken down and Island Anglicans began to develop a sense of themselves as belonging together, in a Prince Edward Island Church. After Archdeacon Tanton'.s departure the city parishes went back to having their own separate picnics and the event declined in importance. It eventually died out. Church music camps were held at Camp Kingston in the early 1970s and attracted large numbers. In the above photograph the Camp Choir, under the direction of Mark LeRoux , is shown at St . Paul's Church, Charlottetown . Archdeacon Tanton is fourth on the left.
