Good Shepherd Camp

Good Shepherd Camp will be a prayer-filled and joyful journey for young children toward a deeper relationship with their Good Shepherd. Lessons will include the Kingdom of God parables, articles of the Mass, liturgical colors, and more! Fun crafts and communal prayer services, balanced with ample opportunities for individual work time with materials from the Atrium, are sure to foster a greater appreciation of our many gifts from God. Please note: This camp is designed for children who would otherwise not be able to participate in an Atrium program; it is not intended for those who are enrolled in one during the school year.
