Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Junior High Staycation was cancelled this year, but we are having a special one-day JYM Day-cation! A day of socially distanced service is planned for Tuesday, August 11th from 8:00 am to 5:30 pm.
By being part of this YOU will have the opportunity to put your faith into action, learn about yourself, grow in faith and become more aware of and better equipped to respond to the justice needs in our world and community.
We will follow social distancing guidelines and request everyone bring a face mask.
Staycation Details: This will take place August 11, 2020. Youth will spend the day working on projects inside and outside to spread joy to the residents at Prairie Vista Village and have some social fun time as well. Our day will go from approximately 8:00 am to 5:30 pm. Check in will be from 7:00 and 8:00 am at the Parish Hall. Youth can be picked up between 5:30 and 6:00 pm.
Travel: Some of our projects will take place at Ss. John & Paul. We will walk to Prairie Vista Village, weather permitting. In case of inclement weather, we will car pool (with adult drivers).
Cost: Cost for this experience is free to members of Ss. John and Paul.
Meals: Each participant should bring a sack lunch to eat at the church, as well as a refillable water bottle for use throughout the day. Ss. John and Paul will provide some individually wrapped snacks.
Chaperones: Diocesan regulations require that we have at least one chaperone for every six youth, so we will need parents (or other adults 21 and over) to chaperone. Please indicate your availability on the application.
If you have any questions, please contact Kristina!
