Summer Camp
"Jesus said, 'Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.'"
- Matthew 9:14
The Totus Tuus Summer Camp is broken down into two distinct streams:
1) The Summer Day Camp - this camp is designed for students in grades 1-6. It runs daily Monday-Friday from 8:45am until 2:30pm. The program helps children learn more about the Catholic faith in a caring, and fun-filled environment. This day camp is facilitated by our highly trained, college-age Totus Tuus Missionaries, with support from the local parish coordinator.

2) Summer Evening Program - this program is designed for students in grades 7-12 who are seeking to deepen their faith. This program runs Sunday-Thursday from 6:45pm until 9:00pm. This evening program is also facilitated by our highly trained, college-age Totus Tuus Missionaries, with support from the local parish coordinator.

Totus Tuus Parish Coordinator
Parish Totus Tuus Coordinators play a crucial role in the success of the program. In order to ensure that the program is beneficial to all involved, we have created a Parish Information Packet to help you every step of the way. Furthermore, the Archdiocesan Totus Tuus Coordinator is available to assist in planning the camp at the parish level, throughout the year.
It is important that we have the contact information for the coordinator of each parish for 2016. Please contact the Office of Catholic Youth in order to provide this information to us (if we don't already have it).
The responsibilities of the parish coordinator for the program are to coordinate promotion and
registration for the program as well as oversee the use of facilities and provide for the needs of
the missionary team.
Activities/Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
- Scheduling a priest(s) for daily Mass and Confession
- Providing snacks for the evening program
- Finding volunteers to help during the day program
- Organizing and promoting the potluck as well as set-up and clean-up
- Reserving facilities for the team and helping to set them up
- Promoting the program, collecting registrations and providing name tags for the children
- Arrange for accommodations and meals for the missionaries
- Being available during the parish week to deal with any issues that arise
