For over 80 years, hundreds of children have experienced CYO Summer camp as a vibrant faith community which offers campers a fun-filled, week in a safe and supportive setting. Kids have a great time learning new skills, making new friends, and enjoying all that summer offers. We welcome children of all races and religions.
January 2021 Update
We continue to monitor the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and the hopeful reality of Summer Camp 2021 taking place.
Our plans are to not make any decisions until MID APRIL. At that point Parents that rolled their children's fees to the 2021 season would be contacted on our plans and next steps.
Following that if in fact we can accomodate any additional children information would be posted here on our website. We appreciate your understanding, and we pray you all remain healthy and safe!
Camp Update - August 2, 2020
On Monday June 8th the NJ Department of Health released new guidelines in light of the Covid-19 pandemic. After spending the last few days reviewing these guidelines, after responses from Archdiocesan Officials and along with our own business analysis for the camp, on Monday June 15th we have made the VERY difficult decision to cancel the 2020 CYO Summer Day Camp season. This is not something we took lightly. However, with so many questions still in light of the Covid-19 pandemic we felt it was the best decision for all.
A letter was placed in the mail Monday afternoon to all parents of children registered for camp explaining next steps in regards to refunds and their payments.
You can read a copy this letter by clicking here
A second letter was sent mid July to those Camp Parents that had not responded - you can read it by clicking here
As of August 1st - after TWO letters were sent to all parent's we automatically rolled over anyone that did not respond to the 2021 Camp Season. We are no longer offering refunds on camp.
