This is for parents!:
This conference is a great experience for high school age youth. Our experienced staff of clergy and lay volunteers create a safe, nurturing environment for kids to explore and grow in their faith. Here are some things you need to know:
Sign-in will take place between 5:00 and 7:00 pm on Sunday, June 29. No dinner will be served that evening.
In an emergency only, you may contact the director by cell phone at (716)432-1946
We encourage you to send your son/daughter mail during the conference but we urge you not to call them. Part of the value of the camp experience is being away from their regular routine. You'll have lots to talk about when they come home! Please encourage your child to leave their cell phone at home. In an emergency the director's cell phone will be available.
The conference ends on Saturday, July 5 at 11:00 am sharp. Your promptness is a real gift to us.
