A week ago we had these amazing volunteers out at Camp Stapleton assisting with some projects to prepare for the rental season! We are so thankful for their labor and taking the time out of their weekend to assist us!

A heartfelt thank you to Christian Financial Credit Union for their generous grant in support of Camp Ozanam's summer program! 🌞

Because of partners like you, we are able to welcome youth to the shores of Lake Huron for a summer filled with growth, friendship, and opportunities to live out our core values of Accept, Share, Develop, and Caritas.

We are grateful for your investment in the next generation and the impact this support will have on campers this summer!

On Tuesday, the Christian Financial Outreach & Impact Foundation had the true privilege of spending time with the incredible team at the Society of St. Vincent de Paul Detroit. 💙

We were honored to present a $3,000 grant in support of St. Vincent de Paul Detroit Camps Camp Ozanam—an inspiring program that opens the door to life-changing experiences for so many young people.

Camp Ozanam offers a 100% free overnight summer camp for children whose families are facing financial hardships, those in foster care, and kids navigating the loss of a loved one. Through outdoor adventures like swimming, sports, arts and crafts, team-building, and more, campers are given the chance to just be kids—building confidence, friendships, and lasting memories in a safe, supportive environment.

We are deeply grateful for the work being done by the Society of St. Vincent de Paul Detroit. Their dedication to uplifting and empowering youth through transformative experiences is truly remarkable.
It’s an honor to support a mission that nurtures personal growth, connection to nature, and strong, resilient futures.
