Kateri
Day Camp, situated on over 250 acres on the Good Shepherd
Convent property, provides a safe and wholesome country
setting for at-risk and handicapped children to attend
summer camp.
Children ages 5-13, from
diverse social and cultural backgrounds, enjoy cooperative
games, sports, music, arts and crafts, field trips and
nature study designed to promote self-respect, respect
for others and for all living things.
As a volunteer you will
work-one-on-one, supervise and assist a child with special
or diverse needs. You will have the opportunity to make
a difference in the life of a young person.
The week will include:
- Orientation to the mission
and spirituality of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd.
- Morning and evening prayer
and theological reflection.
- Living in a private apartment
(on the grounds) with no more than 6 other volunteers
who are interested in deepening their Catholic
faith and learning more about the Catholic social teaching,
the environment and vocation discernment.
- Some free time to enjoy
the Jersey Shore and participate in other recreational
activities!
