Throughout the year, and especially during the summer, boys and girls who participate in our youth programs are invited on retreats and camps. These camps take the children out of their normal day to day activities to give them an opportunity to share experiences together with boys/ girls of similar values to help them build on solid ground forming habits of virtue and prayer while having fun in safe environment. During the camps the children have time to receive sacraments, formation talks, and play many fun games adapted to their age. Some are sleep-away by themselves or with parents, while others are more simple day camps from 9am-3pm. See more.
