HUGS Camp

For all diocesan youth events, a ratio of 1:7 adults to youth is enforced, and we follow all Safe Church policies.
Helping Understand God through Sharing: HUGS is a unique camp for unique people, bringing together young people of diverse abilities. They overcome barriers of real and imagined differences and build bridges of understanding. HUGS is about acknowledging the good creation in each of us and more fully knowing and loving our God through it. The great differences among campers and staff help all of us learn to appreciate and celebrate our diversity as we recognize our common ground.
