CYO Day Camps will not be offered

this summer

After reviewing this past summer’s CYO Day Camping program and that of recent years, Catholic Charities Health & Human Services (CCHHS) has come to the difficult decision of no longer providing the CYO Day Camping program.

CCHHS will continue to offer other summer programs.  Two of these programs include the Camp Christopher program in Bath, Ohio, and the Camp Happiness program for children with disabilities.

Why is CYO Day Camp closing?

Over the last few years enrollment at our three CYO sites has declined significantly.  As a result, CCHHS has had to absorb considerable expense to operate this summer camping program.   As a charitable organization with limited resources we are not able to continue to subsidize this program.

When the summer day camping program began many years ago, there were limited options for families in providing for their children’s recreational, social and spiritual development during the summer months.  Over the years more Churches, schools and communities began offering additional options for families during the summer and thus the need for our program has diminished.
