The St.Andrew Summer Camp was established approximately nine years ago with the help of the parish of St. Andrew.

This summer camp has been seen as a “summer home” for the youth in the Rexdale community, specifically Kipling.

The staff and campers preparing to begin an activity

The theme of this year’s activities is family. This theme was chosen because family is the backbone and the root of an individual’s spiritual and mental growth. A family is a person’s moral support and so, the Catholic community enforces the relevance of family. Most importantly, another influential theme that will be discussed is the neighbourhood. This theme was chosen because the campers should be educated about the benefits of lending a helping hand and making a difference in their world.

The staff having a fun time with the campers

The staff at this camp are extremely encouraging, motivating and loving. They co-operate with each other as best as possible, so as to strengthen their communication skills and demonstrate leadership qualities to the campers.
