We have a number of events and volunteer opportunities happening at the camps throughout the year. Listed below you’ll see what we have coming up and if you want more information click on the link located in the Forms and Flyers box on the left. We would love for you to join us for one or all of our upcoming activities.
Penny Challenge – February
During the annual CYO Rainbow Conference, the CYO Camps collect spare change from the participants and have a competition between the four graders and adults to see who can collect the most pennies (positive points) while donating silver/dollars (negative points) for the other graders. It might sound confusing but it’s a lot of fun. The money raised is used to purchase items for the CYO Camps Work Weekend.
CYO Camps Work Weekend – April
Join us for a day or for the entire weekend! Volunteer your time, gifts and talents to help with the camp clean up and preparation for the summer. Bring a friend, the family – as long as they can work we’ll take the help. Over a 100 teens and adults volunteer each year to make a difference at the camps!
Camp Scrap –A–Lot – April & November
A scrapbooking fundraiser weekend to benefit Camps Connect is held twice a year in April and November. This is a perfect opportunity for those looking to scrapbook and help out the camps. The weekend includes a 5 foot table to scrap, goodie bag, make and take, lodging dorm style, meals, snacks, and lots of fun with friends.
High School Volunteers Needed – July & August
We are always looking for high school volunteer’s ages 16 to 17 to give a week of their summer at one of our camps. This opportunity entails assisting with the daily operations of the Summer Camp Programs. The main responsibility will be meal prep and clean up for all three meals in addition to assisting with the evening programs for the campers. These two areas are major components of our program and we need your help.
Fright Fest – October
Bring the whole family out for our annual haunted forest, games for children, haunted house, sweet treats and a whole lot more. Fright Fest is held the three last Saturdays in October from 8:00 to 11:00 p.m. All proceeds benefit Camps Connect
