Thank You For Your Support!

For over 50 years children ages 6-18 have spent part of their summer at Camp Mitchell, learning new skills, making new friends, and learning about the love God has for each of them. Camp Mitchell's programming is grounded in the belief that children grow when given opportunities to explore, play, and engage in meaningful friendships. Each year summer camp has a theme and each week the leaders of the week incorporate that theme into Christian-focused programming. Along with this intentional faith-based component, children are offered multiple opportunities each day to play, explore, and create. At the end of each week, kids will head home, taking with them craft projects, new friendships, and a more deeply grounded faith.
 
A big THANK YOU to all who contributed to Camp Mitchell scholarships for our parish children to attend summer camp. $2,365.00 has been raised and will help defray expenses for 9 children to attend these wonderful camps. What a blessing!!
