"Going to summer camp not knowing anyone as a 13 years old, I remember was pretty intimidating. That's what makes Caritas so different! By Day 15, I had made many new friends, many of which I stayed friends with back in the city! There is nothing better than having a summer filled with sports like baseball, hockey, volleyball, activities like kayaking, biking and mountain climbing and then to share the experience with some friends! That's Caritas!" - David Rossi, Camper 1997-99, Staff 2000-06

Camp Caritas enables teenagers to subconsciously experience spiritual and mental growth, while simultaneously giving a fun and active two weeks of non-stop sports." - Lucas Phillip Noradounkian
