Summer Day Camp, had another successful summer,
this years theme was "Oasis". A fun time that included enrichment
activities, physical play, field trips, service projects
and much, much more!
Open to children ages 5 through 14. For teen campers,
our Community Action Teams (CATS) were on the go
again! CATS were devoted to service projects throughout
the community and took weekly field trips to amusement
parks, concerts, fishing trips and other exciting opportunities.

Testimonials
"I am a teacher
in the Upper Darby School District and feel a special
connection to the children and families of Stonehurst
and Bywood. I know and admire many of the staff that
make your programs unique. My husband, Jake, and I wanted
to support an organization that we felt strongly about.
After Jake heard me talking so highly about the Community
Outreach programs, he also wanted to contribute to them.
This is in appreciation for all you do!"
- Carol and Jake Peterson.
"The staff members were fantastic!!! The camp offered opportunities to visit and see places that they always wanted to go. God has truly blessed me and my family with wonderful people like you and your staff to give the support at a time when it is most needed."
- Summer Camp Parent.
