Parish Youth Complete Kurs Camp – Parish Provides for our Youth

Events, Parish Life, PNCC, Sunday School (SOCL) /

The PNCC Youth Camp – “Kurs” was held at Bishop Hodur Retreat and Recreation Center in Waymart, PA from July 4th through 11th. This year’s theme was “Take a Chance on God.” Our youth analyzed people in scripture and history who, at one point in their lives, went out of their comfort zone and took a chance on God.

Campers are provided with 7 days of camp including all room, board, and activities. They participated in team building and leadership activities and built lifelong friendships. The campers were under the leadership of the Kurs counselors who were all campers themselves once and wanted to make each child’s experience as memorable and enjoyable as possible. It is their hard work and dedication that made the Kurs experience possible.

It was a great event as per participants!!!

Ned Kiame, Neil Kiame,Natalie Cyman and Michael Cyman (partially) represented our parish. The parish supports youth attendance and we encourage more of our youth to participate in 2016.
