What : EDGE Catholic Summer Camp for Middle Schoolers. A week of fun, faith, and fellowship!

Who : All SJN members who are currently 5th-8th Graders. (Those who will be rising 6th-9th Graders in the summer of 2020.)

When : We will leave bright and early on June 28th (Sunday) and return VERY late on July 4th (Saturday), 2020. (We will return in the middle of the night, so technically it will be on the 5th, probably around 2:00am.)

Where : Hidden Lake Camp in Dahlonega, GA

Cost : $850 per person (includes everything: camp registration and activity fees, lodging, food at camp and on the road, snacks, and transportation.)

 Friends : For this event, please speak to Angela directly if you are interested in bringing a friend. You can email her here .

Transportation : We will drive down in rented 12 passenger vans.

Chaperones : Are needed! We must have two adults (25 years or older with a valid driver's license and you must go through the Diocesan program Protecting God's Children) for every ten youth. We will need chaperones who are both male and female. Chaperones will not be expected to pay for camp or transportation. Chaperones will be expected to assist with driving shifts on the way there and on the way back. Email Angela to volunteer or ask questions.

What to Bring : More information will be sent out to registered participants closer to the camp.

Permission Form/Waiver : A permission form will be emailed to all parents of participants along with all waiver information needed.

Branching Out T-Shirt : All participants will need to visibly wear a Branching Out T-Shirt during our transportation days. One will be provided if needed.

Branching Out T-Shirts

Branching Out t-shirts are on sale for $10. They are available for purchase, however there will be a supply on hand in the Faith Formation Office for off-site Branching Out events where all participants will be required to wear one to assist with better supervision and accountability. Participants may purchase one to own or may choose to just wear one of the extras when attending off-site events. Shirts can be purchased during Rooted sessions or any other time that staff is available in the Faith Formation Office.
2019/2020 Calendar

The Branching Out Calendar is ready, but be aware that there are other potential events that may be added as the year moves along! There will be an update version with additional information available next week.

Thank you for all you do to make your children's faith formation a priority and for inviting us to support you in this wonderful journey.
