St. Vincent's Summer Camp

Provides youth activites and faith-filled experiences for young people in our parish and community. In 1985 an associate pastor at St.

Vincent de Paul parish, Fr. Bill Roland, came together with lay persons, both parents and youth, to pilot a summer camp program at a diocesan retreat center in the mountains of West Virginia. Nestled in the beautiful Appalachian mountains on the outskirts of Huttonsville, WV, the Bishop Hodges Pastoral Center provides unparalleled natural beauty within which to hold religious retreats and diocesan conferences. Through the early years, the structure of “Camp” was a work in progress—as such a program is rare among individual parish youth ministry programs—and the youth ministry team had to work diligently to establish a blueprint for success. However, hard work and solid faith paid off, as the Summer Camp program has flourished into a high quality means by which to allow the youth of the parish to experience their faith.
