All students who are currently in grades 6-9 are invited to join us for a week of fun, friends, and service learning. This is a day program (9:00 am to 3:00 PM) for youth who want to help neighbors in need. We will use the Hill Church as a home base and take a different field trip each day to put faith in action.

Download your registration form from the Compassion Camp Facebook page or pick one up at church. Those who register by April 15 will receive an EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT!

We will be gathering a staff of volunteers, including CITs and counselors, so contact Debby at 860-377-2675 if you can help out.  APPLICATIONS for youth staff are due by April 15.
