MERCER, PA – The National Jr. ACRY will once again be hosting its Weekend Encounter at Camp Nazareth over Veteran’s Day Weekend. The event will be held from November 8 – 10, 2013, and is open to youth ages 8 – 18. Attendees do not have to be a member of the Jr. ACRY to attend.

The weekend’s activities will include time for prayer, recreating, spiritual learning, sports, and more. Each year, the National Jr. ACRY plans a weekend that will condense the highlights of a week of camp down into one weekend,  in the hope that all Diocesan youth will consider spending Veteran’s Day Weekend at Camp Nazareth.

The cost, thanks to a generous grant from the Jr. ACRY,  is only $65 for the weekend. Any adult who is bringing campers to the event may stay for the weekend at a cost of $80.

During the weekend, those in attendance can catch up with old friends, make new friends, and have fun while living the Faith. We are pleased to announce that His Grace, Bishop Gregory will be in joining our youth for the weekend.

This is a wonderful opportunity for those who have never attended Camp Nazareth before to try it out! Although they won’t be able to swim in the pool, they will be introduced to our beautiful diocesan camp, and will hopefully want to come back for a full week next summer!

All campers must have signed parental consent forms to attend the event. (The “chaperone” portion does not need filled out as we will have counselors in each cabin). The completed forms as well as a check made out to the National Jr. ACRY are to be mailed  to:

Rachel Pribish
