"To God through Mary": July 21-23

Since 2018, Regina Caeli families have worked closely with our priests to create our very own summer camp-- a three-day program of original skits, crafts, outdoor games, musical instruction, and sound traditional catechesis.  We're so happy to be planning one again, after last year's online interlude! 
 
For 2021, Fr. Van Vliet has chosen a theme that reflects the Queen of Heaven's special patronage of our parish-- and that encourages each one of us to give ourselves, without reserve, to Our Lady's service and protection.  Guided by volunteer parents and youth, campers (ages 5-12) will explore the lives and motivations of holy men and women who found in Mary the safest, most direct route to Heaven.  They'll also tour the altar and sacristy with Fr. Van Vliet; experience a "dry Mass" with Fr. Rock; and adore Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament.  All of this-- and the fun of daily crafts, snacks, music, and water games, too!

To Register...

This year's program will run from 9AM-noon on Wednesday, July 21-Friday, July 23.  The cost is $20 per camper ($50 for three campers or more).  To register your campers, please submit the online form by June 25-- although, as space is limited, it's a good idea to do so as soon as possible!  The camp may fill quickly.
 

Thank you for your interest but we're sorry .... 
Catholic Kids Camp Enrollment  is CLOSED.

To Volunteer...

Please prayerfully consider donating your time as a camp volunteer!  It's no exaggeration to say that the Catholic Kids Camp can't do without you.  It simply can't!  Without volunteers to design, organize, and assist with activities-- as well as guide small groups of campers-- this program couldn't function.

Recognizing the need for parent involvement , the parish's St. Philomena Toddler Group is graciously offering complimentary childcare for volunteers' smallest children.  Their generous service makes it possible for whole families to participate and help.

And there are many ways to help!  Adults are needed to lead groups of children from activity to activity; to assist with skit rehearsals, costumes, and props; to supervise water games; to care for small children in the nursery program; and to help with crafts, music, decorating, and general setup.  Please be advised that volunteers over the age of 18 must complete Safe Environment training (online) prior to service.

Likewise, youth ages 13-18 are encouraged to participate as volunteer actors; group aides; and assistants with water games, crafts, food, and other areas as needed.  (By the way, this can be a great way to gain service hours toward Confirmation, honor society, or a similar goal!)

To volunteer, please fill out the online form for yourself and/or the under-18 youth in your family.  May God reward your generosity!

Thank you for your interest in the 2021 Catholic Kids Camp.  We hope to see you in July!  In the meantime, please feel free to direct any questions to welcome@reginacaeliparish.org.
