Vacation Bible Camp Teachers from St. John School will host a Vacation Bible Camp this August 14-18 from 9 AM to 2 PM at St. John School. St. John teachers will be presenting this opportunity to learn more about saints in “Set Sail with St. Patrick!” Children 5 through 10 are welcome. The cost of this event is $50 for each student. Scholarships are available. Details and Registration Form here, and will be distributed in the back of the Church and on request from Sheila Connolly at sconnolly@st-johnschool.org.
Skagit County Migrant Camp Middle school students going into grades 6th through 8th are welcome to apply to attend the migrant camp August 20-24th. We are hoping to send 15 students to Burlington to work with the migrant community there. We will be joining Sacred Heart Parish in Bellevue, so a requirement for this camp is the willingness to attend two service projects prior to the camp. These will be in the summer. The cost for this camp is $225 for lodging and transportation. Scholarships are available. Parents will be needed to assist with the dinner meal. Myke Folger and Sheila Connolly will be the chaperones for this event. Please contact Sheila Connolly at sconnolly@st-johnschool.org.
Habitat for Humanity Camp Current high school students going into junior and senior year will be welcome to travel to Yakima for the week of June 25-29 to help build housing for low-income residents. We will be working together and staying in a church building. The cost of this trip is $200 per person. Scholarships are available. Sheila Connolly will be one of the chaperones. Seeking to put God’s love into action, we bring people together to build homes, community, and hope. Come join St. John’s as they embark on a weeklong excursion to sunny Yakima Valley to help Habitat for Humanity with a home build. This is an opportunity to experience the ultimate meaning of giving back as you work toward completing a home for a low-income family and learn firsthand what it takes to build a home. If you have any questions, please contact Sheila at sconnolly@st-johnschool.org.
