We are moving forward with our planning for our St. Edward 2021 Camps.  We have reviewed the mandatory regulations and recommended best practices that were released by Governor Mike DeWine and the Ohio Department of Health regarding youth camps, and we know that we can meet all of the protocols for safety while delivering a fun, quality camp experience.
