Hello Pax Christi Youth Update Subscribers,
Below are details about our four major summer camps and trips available to middle-high school students and adult leaders. Take a look and pay particular attention to the details this year. Some of the opportunities have limited space and hard deadlines.
Camp Summit is especially important to pay attention to this year. The Diocese of Winona-Rochester has changed the way in which we register for camp. Pax Christi has a limited number of spaces reserved (22 to be exact), and the deadline for registration is going to be strictly enforced. We are going the second week of Camp Summit and it was sold out 30 minutes after registration was opened. Last year we brought over 30 people to camp and there is a chance we will be able to bring as many or more, but right now we are limited to 22.
We have also included current fundraising opportunities. Stay tuned for more information about our main fundraising campaign Solid Foundations.
As always let us know if you have any questions and/or concerns.
Peace,
Zach Rawson
Director of Youth & Young Adult Ministry
