The children participated in traditional camp experiences, such as swimming, arts and crafts, nature, and athletics, they took field trips to the National Aquarium, the Baltimore Zoo, and the Reginald F. Lewis Museum, and they experienced other enrichment activities including a presentation on reptiles, a puppet show, a talent show and a cook out. They were also given academic instructions in reading and math and learned lessons in character development.

The largest lay Catholic charitable organization in the world was founded 175 years ago by a French college student named Frederic Ozanam.  Ozanam founded the Society of St. Vincent de Paul in 1833, so that he and his fellow students could put their faith into action through service to the poor. The St. Vincent de Paul Society today has more than 690,000 members operating in 142 countries.
