St. Bernadette’s Family Resource Centre has teamed up with the TCDSB’s Focus on Youth program in recent years in order to employ several youth staff to gain experience as a camp counsellor during the summer. The Focus on Youth staff in partnership with the hired staff of St. Bernadette’s work together to make sure that each camper gets an amazing camp experience and an unforgettable summer filled with lifelong friendships and role models.
