Good News from CYO

Gosh, this summer is busy!

Here's CYO's June: Four weeks of summer camp in the books (that's 240 10-14 year olds who spent a week on campus). You'd think field trips taper off when school is out, but CYO managed to host 17 in June. Six volunteer work groups dedicated time to projects around campus -- one group stayed four days! We taught a summer session of CORE and a session of Intermediate CORE.

Last weekend, we hosted our first ever fishing derby. Thank you to the 200 folks who attended, hope you had as much fun as we did!

If you're reading this Friday morning, we are hand-planting 12,000 pumpkin seeds RIGHT NOW with dreams of pumpkin-picking fun come October. Let's all cross our fingers!

Got weekend plans? Holes & Hops - our party-with-some-cornhole fundraiser - is tomorrow. Sign up! We'd love to see you there.
