Thank you from Sr. Pat's Kids Camp!

Sister Pats Kids Camp wanted to thank the Parish Community for helping to bring an Out of this World return to camp to the campers and volunteers of Sister Pats. After three long years of not hosting our traditional camp, we were able to return to our normal sleepaway camp in Esopus, NY.

The theme was SPACE, and to share of few of the highlights from our return to normal camp (a highlight in itself!), camp had 40 campers ages 7 to 14 and 100 volunteers, from Saint Helen, Columbia Presbyterian, and even two third-generation Sister Pat volunteers.

The week featured a variety of space themed activities, including a blow-up planetarium. Thanks to many of you, camp was able to once again host our annual Carnival on Sunday night, and many volunteers drove up for the day from Saint Helen to help run the games and sort out prizes. Cosmic Bowling was a highlight on Wednesday, as was the fireworks that lit-up the Esopus sky on Monday night, concluding with the Dance under the stars on Friday night.

THANK YOU to all the parishioners who volunteered, donated, or prayed throughout the year to help make this week possible. If you are interested in learning more about camp or volunteering next summer, please visit our website or send us an email.
