Who would like a One-week Vacation Bible School?
City Camp 2020
We are celebrating the 11th Year of City Camp!
We are grateful for the vision of the Rev. Andrew Kellner, now Chaplain of St. James School who created City Camp, a summer day camp, for kids and their families in the underserved neighborhoods of the Diocese.
In 2020 City Camp is continuing now offers one-week Vacation Bible Schools in all communities of the Diocese. If your parish wants to offer Vacation Bible School and you need staff and programming, or just staff, we are able to serve your parish and community. Please reserve your week for 2020 as soon as possible. Contact us here.
City Camp constinues to be a summer day camp program for churches located in the under-resourced communities in the Diocese. In 2020 we are serving more families in South Philadelphia at St. Simon’s and at the Chapel of the Four Chaplains, a new site partner. This year we are serving families in North Philadelphia at the Church of the Advocate as well as Spanish-speaking families in Hunting Park and Kensington at Christ and St. Ambrose. We are continuing to maintain our expansion into the greater diocesan area with sites at St. Martin-in-the-Fields in Chestnut Hill, St. Mary’s in Chester, and at Trinity Boothwyn.
