Special Events - Summer Camp at St. Vincent's Villa

Summer Camp takes place late-June and mid-August onsite. It's a day-camp -- not overnight -- so activities take place on weekday mornings. In June, the Summer Camp will be a "Vacation Bible School" style camp with main sessions and supporting activities. 
 
In addition to standard background screening, volunteers for camp weeks must be at least 16 years old and attend Pre-Service Training. Camp Volunteers will commit to all four days of camp (June 22-25), plus two planning/prep sessions tentatively on June 16 and June 18 from 12:30-2:30PM. Volunteers will all help facilitate the main sessions daily and then specialize in activities (either crafts, games, or snacks) through which the children will rotate.
 
Children from St. Vincent's Villa Residential Treatment Center participate in summer camp activities with our Spiritual Development Coordinator, Recreational Therapist and volunteers. Activities include a range of sports, crafts, and hands-on lessons designed to further the treatment goals of children with severe emotional and behavioral disabilities, aged 5-13. Volunteers provide support by keeping children engaged and by assisting with set-up and clean-up. 
 
The camp takes place while Villa Maria School is on break - late June and mid August - although it is only attended by residents of St. Vincent's Villa (and not the general public nor non-resident students of Villa Maria School). Activities take place in the morning, and the children attend in groups of approximately 12, rotating between camp and other activities.
