Do you have parishioners who aren’t quite sure if they want to send their child to camp? The OYM Office can supply a DVD presentation about the camp to share with your parishioners to encourage participation or you can arrange for an in person presentation by camp staff. These DVD’s were also sent home with the SOBOR participants.
Just contact the OYM Office for details.
