Our youth volunteers will receive a certificate of volunteer hours.

Please mark your calendars for the weekend of June 5-7 for our training weekend which will take place at Bronte creek campground.  This will be a fun overnight youth leadership camp.  We have kept it local for youth who can't stay the whole weekend but need the training for VBS.  The training portion of the camp will occur Friday evening and Saturday during the day, and is mandatory for volunteers who have not previously volunteered at St. Paul's VBS.

Campers must bring their own NUT FREE lunch and water bottle to camp each day.  

We provide a snack each day.  Please be specific if your child has any allergies and include the severity and treatment (epi pen, etc) when registering. We try our best to accommodate any food allergies in our snack planning.

We strive to make camp accessible to all.  Please contact tracy@stpaulsoakville.com if support is required.  

If you have any questions please contact tracy@stpaulsoakville.com

GOALS

For children and families to understand their community through building relationships with other groups outside of our own.

  • To bring families together for an experience of faith and worship and mission.

  • To provide a mission and faith experience for families to have together.

  • For this experience to become an annual program, if the desire and need is present.
