The Saint Rita Youth Group Ministry is more than programs and events. Its mission is to provide a Christian community for teens and give them the opportunity to share their unique gifts with the parish and neighboring communities. Throughout the year and under the guidance of Youth Minister Christina Elnahass, the ministry offers several opportunities for teens to engage in faith, fellowship, and fun!
SLAM Camp is back this summer! Camp runs from Monday, June 9th - Friday, June 13 from 8:15am - 1:30pm daily. It is open to all current 5th and 6th graders. The cost of SLAM camp is $150/camper and will include a t-shirt and participation in our outings to Skyzone, Cathedral of Saint John the Evangelist, Fun'n' Stuff, and the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo! We are also in need of adult chaperones and teen counselors.
