COME BACK SOON FOR DATES AND MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS SUMMER'S VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL!

RAINFOREST FALLS VBS
COMING JUNE 2026
 9 am to Noon each day
St. Mary's Elementary School Fine Arts Building

Step through the mist into Rainforest Falls, overflowing with wild waterfalls, towering trees, and colorful creatures. Beneath a canopy of chattering birds and howling monkeys, kids plunge into a lifelong adventure of discovering the nature of God. They’ll explore what it means to be rooted in relationship with God, their creator, a safe place in life’s storms.

AGES: VBS is open to children currently in PK (age 4) thru Grade 4. 


DAMASCUS SUMMER CAMP
MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL
Damascus is a missionary movement that partners with the work of the Holy Spirit to bring revival to the Catholic Church in America. It began in 2001 with a group of parents and parishioners in Columbus, OH who realized that their kids needed an experience of the Catholic faith that was dynamic, adventurous, and joy-filled. 

The newest Damascus Summer Camp location will open in 2026 at a newly renovated site in Emmitsburg, MD. Beginning June 7 through July 31, 2026, Damascus will offer weekly camps for middle school and high school teens (on separate weeks) at their new Summit Lake camp near Mount St. Mary's University in Emmitsburg. A local and convenient option for St. Mary's parishioners!

High School sessions are for students entering grades 9-12. Middle School sessions are for students entering grades 6-8.
Cost per Session: $645
