CAMP!

The Diocesan Summer Camp program provides youth with a chance to expand their faith, discover their gifts, make new friends and have a good time.

There are three camp sessions:

Senior High Conference on the campus of SUNY Fredonia for those entering grades 10 - 12 & the class of 2010. Our parish secretary, Liz Brauza is on staff for this camp. The focus is on living your faith. The cost is $345. Senior High Conference is June 27 - July 3. There is still a little bit of time left to sign up for Senior High. Please see Pastor Vicki or Andrea ASAP!!!

Junior High Camp is at the Dunkirk Conference Center for those entering grades 7 - 9. Pastor Vicki is on staff and will take the first three youth from St. Paul's to sign up down with her. The focus is on how we can use our gifts and talents to make changes in our world. The limit is 30 for this camp so sign up quickly. The cost is $330. Junior High Camp is August 8-14.

Sleep Away Camp is at the Lake Chautauqua Lutheran Center for those entering grades 3 - 6. Deacon Dan is on staff for this camp. This is a safe, nurturing introduction to the camping experience. The cost is $115. Sleep Away Camp is August 18-21.

We have had a few donations of scholarship money for camp. Please don't let cost keep you away from camp - see Pastor Vicki if cost is an issue for you.

Parish Picnic - Save the Date!!

Our annual Parish Picnic will take place at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday, June 27 at Sunset Park (just down the street from the church at the corner of Harris Hill & Wehrle).

Hot dogs & hamburgers will be provided. Please bring tableware for yourself & your family, drinks, and a dish to pass.

We hope to see you there!
