42. Youth Camps: An Open Conversation with Archbishop Smith
Show Notes

Youth camps have been paused in the Archdiocese of Edmonton since 2019. What is the future of youth camp ministry in the Archdiocese? What communication issues and concerns regarding camps have arisen over the past five years – and how can we do better in the future? 

Join Archbishop Smith, Camp Director Fr. Marc Cramer, Camp Coordinator Mike Landry and our podcast host Jenny Connelly for a candid conversation about why youth camps closed down in the Archdiocese, the frustrations, grief and communications concerns that have been faced with the temporary closure of camps, transparency regarding the money spent on camps, whether the Archbishop sees youth ministry as a priority in the Edmonton Archdiocese and the long-expected reopening of Archdiocesan youth camp ministry this summer! 

Pray for the team of passionate and devoted individuals who are leading the way forward with the re-opening of youth camp ministry in our Archdiocese this summer.
