While the warmth and fun of the summer months seems light years away, it is nevertheless time for us to begin planning for the 25th annual Camp WOW on
Counselor Day: June 27, 2020
Camp: Jun 28-July 1, 2020
Camp WOW is a four day middle school summer camp for students from several local area parishes including St. Mary’s in Sycamore, St. Catherine of Sienna in Dundee, St Gall's in Elburn, and Our Lady of the Wayside in Arlington Heights. It is the joint effort of these participating parishes that makes our camp so successful! More specifically, it is the leadership and guidance provided by the high school camp counselors that makes camp both a significant social and spiritual experience for the middle school students. Therefore, it is at this time that we are beginning the volunteer camp counselor recruitment, interview, and selection process.
For your information, below we have listed some of the criteria we will use as we interview, discern, and select counselors for the 2020 Camp WOW. Specifically, we will focus on:
A student’s ability to work within a group;
A steady pattern of involvement in spiritual activities including praying, reading of scripture, attending Mass every Sunday, and participation in Reconciliation;
Active involvement in parish youth ministry events;
Having previous retreat and/or camp experience;
A student’s ability to connect with and minister to middle school students; and
Age-appropriate maturity and emotional/spiritual health.
Applications are available under "Forms" as well as in the
Youth Ministry Office on December 1st, 2019
