Transportation
St. Mary’s Camp has elected to forego bus service again this year. The drop off and pick up process last year went extremely well. This decision is helping us keep our tuition down. We encourage you to turn this short drive time into an opportunity for conversation on how Christ and the Church become more alive through the camp experience.
