Summer 2022 After Camp Survey

Campers and families, please take a moment to fill out our after camp survey. There are different questions for campers and for parents/guardians. You can fill it out multiple times (one for each family member who wishes to participate). The survey can be accessed at https://forms.office.com/r/rJdVNUhXaq. Thank you for being a part of Camp St Nicholas Summer 2022.

No Busses

In response to the COVID outbreak during week 1, we are cancelling all further bus service to and from camp for Week 2 and Week 3.  All those of you who purchased bus transportation have already been refunded those transportation fees.  We understand that this will inconvenience some campers, but it is a necessary step to reduce opportunity for spread and to allow us to establish a COVID free "bubble" at camp.

Summer Camp Registration Goes Live at 10PM Pacific - 3/6/2022

Registration for Camp St Nicholas Summer Camp 2022 opens at 10PM Pacific Sunday, March 6.  Our session dates are as follows:

 If a teen camper wishes to attend both the teen week and one of the other weeks, they may do so but will need to register two times.

The links you need can be found on the Camp St Nicholas Website and for your convenience are copied here as well:

Summer Camp Registration Schedule

I am pleased to announce that registration for our three weeks of Summer Camp will be open at 10PM, Sunday the 6th of March (after everyone is safely home from Forgiveness Vespers a your respective parishes).  Come back to this website at that time for the links to the registration system.  Note that if you attended Winter Camp this year, your family informaiton and login information are saved so registration should be quick and easy.  If you did not participate in Winter Camp this year, you will have to create a family profile in our new registration system online. 

Our session dates are as follows:

PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE DATES ARE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT THAN DATES COMMUNICATED EARLIER!

Weeks 1 and 3 are open to campers entering the second grade up to campers entering their senior year of high school in the 2022-2023 school year.  Week 2 is specifically designed for teenagers entering the seventh through twelfth grades in the 2022-2023 school year.  If a teen camper wishes to attend both the teen week and one of the other weeks, they may do so but will need to register two times.

Fees for a week of camp this year are $600.  This is a $45 increase from last year’s rates.  The rate increase reflects some increases in our program costs as well as the fact that camp will be one day longer in 2022 than it was in 2021.  As usual, parishes may use their allocation from the Order of St Ignatius to partially offset some camper fees.  We are also working on developing a scholarship fund which can be used to assist camper families in need. There is a form you can access during registration which you can complete if you would like to request additional tuition scholarship support.

Here is the schedule for forms and fees:

STAFF, COUNSELOR and CIT APPLICATIONS

When we open camper applications, we will also be opening the application process for Staff, Counselors and CITs.  This year, we will be offering a limited number of Counselor in Training (CIT) positions for the first and third weeks of camp.  These positions are open to those age 17-18.  CITs are paired with experienced counselors and assist in the younger age cabins as an opportunity to learn the role of counselor.  CITs still pay to go to camp, but at a reduced rate of $400.  All counselors, staff and CITs must apply by the application deadline of April 15, 2022.

THEME AND T-SHIRT DESIGN CONTEST

The theme for Camp St Nicholas Summer Camp this year comes from the book of Matthew:  “Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 19:14).  Our Christian Education Morning Program will be based on this theme.  As you know, we typically design a logo every year based upon the theme and use that logo on the t-shirts we produce for all the campers and staff.  This year I am asking campers (or staff) who are gifted in the visual arts to submit their original works for consideration.  We will select our logo from those designs that are submitted and will credit the artist on the t-shirt.  If you would like to submit your camera-ready designes in electronic form (PDF would be preferable), please send them to our Administrative Director mailbox (office@campstnicholas.com).  The deadline to submit designs is April 15, 2022.

SESSION PRIESTS

We are also recruiting session priests to be with us and participate in the programs and services during that session.  I believe we have two priests already expressing interest in being with us for Week 1.  As we have the Diocese Clergy on this mailing list, if you would like to work as a session priest for Week 2 or Week 3, please let me know as soon as possible.  

We look forward to a Summer full of worship, witness, fellowship, service and fun and our first year back with all ages at camp since 2019.  Please pray for this ministry as we pray also for you.

In Christ,
