St. Camillus Youth Ministry invites all youth in grades 6-12 to a Catholic, safe and fun environment. Here they can strengthen their relationships with God and grow as individuals, while exploring ideas, values, and faith within the context of a supportive community of peers and adults.

WHAT ARE WE ABOUT?

• We meet every week.  We talk about God, and how God relates to more modern situations. We help you understand God and how to build a relationship with God.  

• We talk about different topics at every meeting (drugs, peer pressure, bullying, faith, growing up, etc.…)

• We also do a lot of fun activities like laser tag, movie night, dances, swimming (beach and lake trips) and amusement parks (Hershey park). Basically anything you want to do, just share your ideas and we will find a way to do it.

• We want to create a safe place for teens to hang out, make friends, learn about God, pray, share the faith and have fun!

What if I can only come sometimes?  No problem.  We hope that you will join us off and on when you can.  Obviously, we wish you could always come, but as seasons change, activities and homework changes, too. We'll look forward to seeing you whenever you can make it.
