On a Quest to Change the World,
One Child at a time...

Our Mission

Caritas Creek's purpose is to help young people discover the connection between all living things; to build bridges between diverse socioeconomic and ethnic groups; and to foster in youth a deeper connection to the natural environment, to self, to the Spirit of Love, and to community.

Our Role

Caritas Creek was founded in 1975, and spent 35 years creating the curriculum, facilitating and operating our program. In 2010 we determined our program could be licensed and our curriculum and method could be shared. We formulated a board of directors to:

​

 

* License our environmental education program to qualified organizations, and specifically CCCYO. 

* Validate and ensure consistent program quality and alignment to our mission.

​* Raise funds to support the financial accessibility to students at both Caritas Creek program and CYO Summer Camp at CCCYO.

​* Award financial aid in the form of camperships to families and schools who otherwise would not be able to afford to participate in the CYO and Caritas Creek outdoor programs. 

Fundraising

In 2023 the Caritas Creek Board of Directors merged with the CYO Camp Alumni Advisory Group

to ensure our Caritas Creek and CYO Camp Alumni community have ample ways to stay connected to one another as well as continue both group's primary objective to send kids to camp.

 

We are determined that every child who would like to attend the environmental school and summer camp programs are able to do so with the generous help from our donors.

​

Supporters and Alumni may attend the CYO Camp and Caritas Creek Alumni Foundation events throughout the year.

​

Help us fulfill our mission by participating in our annual fundraising efforts!
