CAMPS
|
Camp Ozanam and Camp Stapleton are owned and operated by The Society of St. Vincent de Paul - Detroit, an independent Catholic lay organization, which responds to the needs of the poor of all creeds and ethnic backgrounds. Since 1923, thanks to our volunteers and donor support, our camping program has allowed over 102,000 disadvantaged youngsters the opportunity to enjoy a fully funded camping experience along the shores of Lake Huron. Our program provides children who are underprivileged and suffering familial economic hardship with the chance to enjoy outdoor activities in a Catholic summer camp environment. Camper fees are fully funded through donations from individuals, corporations and foundations. Our camps are located on the shores of Lake Huron approximately 85 miles northeast of Detroit. Directions from the Metropolitan Detroit area: I-94 east to Pt. Huron, follow M-25 toward Lexington north along the lake. Camp Stapleton is three miles north of Lexington and Camp Ozanam is 8 miles north. Both Camp Ozanam and Camp Stapleton are available for rental groups and camps. If you would like to donate to help send a child to camp contact a member of our Development Department at (313) 393-2922.
