Upper Elementary Camp
Tuesday, July 31st  - Friday, August 3rd


 

Through the eyes of these children we come to see the many things that we have to be thankful for.  For example:  for many of the youth this is their first experience being away from home overnight on their own.  It is amazing how much more they come to appreciate their parents and even their siblings through this separation.  That is until they start having a lot of fun.  When the parents come to pick them up it takes the youth forever to say goodbye to their new friends.  To see again how really amazing and gifted our children are when they return home is another reason to say; "Thank you God!"
 

 
 

HOW CAN YOU HELP WITH SUMMER CAMPS!! 

We need adult chaperones in the cabins at night with the Youth Council and with the campers. You would arrive at the Retreat Center by 9 PM to enjoy sometime around the campfire with the campers. At bedtime, it is up to you to make sure each person that is assigned to your cabin is in the cabin for the entire night. Get the kids up in the morning and make sure everyone gets to breakfast on time and you are welcome to stay for breakfast. Then just “repeat” each night of camp. 

All Adults Chaperones need to have a Background check (you may do that at your parish office if you have not already done one) and have completed either the Darkness to Light program or done the previous program VIRTUS. 

If you are interested in help please call Patti at 541-388-4004 to sign up today.
