St. Catherine’s Religious Ed director is seeking volunteers to help set up and organize the St. Catherine of Siena Summer Camp program for next summer (2020).   Vacation Bible School (VBS) is a specialized form of religious education program which focuses on educating children about God. We hold a week-long program during the summer, usually consisting of Bible stories, skits, religious song, dancing, arts and crafts, science, games, and a separate section for 2 year olds to Kindergarten age children. We typically use a themed curriculum program such as “To Mars and beyond”, “Under the sea” etc. We are always looking for Adult Counselors (teachers), Teen Counselors, decorating team, organizing and much more. We need a team to help set up the camp before, during and after camp.
