We have been monitoring the rapidly evolving situation around COVID-19 and the impact it is having on our community.

CAMP HOWARD SUMMER CAMP REGISTRATION - OPEN
Our Camp Howard Summer sessions are OPEN for registration. We are actively planning our summer sessions, hiring staff, taking inventory and ramping up to have a great camp season! We are cancelling the first Open House scheduled for April 18, however the June 27th Open House remains scheduled. We will continue to follow recommendations made by our local, state and national leaders.
We will continue to keep you informed about CYO and Camp Howard as we move forward. Our hope for the near future is that the steps we are taking today will allow us to get back to our normal lives as quickly as possible.
My prayer for our greater community includes courage and wisdom to do all we are asked to do to contain the virus, compassion for those who are suffering and a strong faith in our Lord who will help us through this unique chapter in our lives.
Thank you for choosing CYO/Camp Howard and for your continued support as we move through these challenging times together.
Grateful,
Sr. Krista von Borstel, SSMO
