Who are we?Us in the Son was established in 1979 and is a Catholic based day camp that focuses on the qualities of the rainbow; love, courage, joy, growth, peace, faith, and hope. Throughout the summer we sing songs, do crafts, travel to the beach and the park, and praise the Lord. We are so excited to be kicking off the 41st summer of Us in the Son! We welcome all returners and newcomers!

About our programs:
|
Day Camp (Pre K* - 6th Grade):
Us in the Son Day Camp is our pride and joy and the main focus of the summer! Everything the staff and volunteers do throughout the summer is working to prepare for our little campers. Campers are placed into color groups based on their age -- purples are the youngest (Pre-K and K) and reds are the oldest (5th and 6th graders). Throughout your child's time at camp they will learn the importance of these qualities, engage in a variety of activities, make new friends, and understand the meaning of God's love. A week at camp includes plenty of crafts, singing, and games at the church campus, as well as a trip to the park on Tuesday! For more information and registration details, click the link below: |

Volunteering (7th - 12th Grade):
We love and are so grateful for our volunteers! Once children enter 7th grade they are eligible to be volunteers for our 6 different color groups. Volunteers are assigned to a color where they will assist their designated counselor throughout the week by caring for, helping, and having fun with the campers. Becoming a volunteer is extremely rewarding and gives young teenagers great leadership opportunities and allows them to bond with the campers. Throughout the summer we also offer special opportunities especially for our fabulous volunteers, such as Leadership Camp and "love-letter" writing parties.

Leadership Camp (7 - 12th Grade):
Leadership Camp is a weekend like no other! Mandatory for all first-time volunteers, but loved by all, Leadership Camp kicks off the summer with a weekend in the mountains created just for our volunteers. Volunteers are divided by grade-level and compete for the "Holy Grail" while learning valuable leadership skills that will become helpful during their week volunteering at Day Camp. The weekend activities include, but are certainly not limited to: skits, leadership rotations in the form of thrilling games, an epic game of Capture the Flag(s), swimming, hiking, and small-group time. Volunteers will NOT want to miss this weekend! For more information, click the link below: |
