I'm interested!
The goal is to send a group of St. Mary's youth together during a designated Middle School week and a High School week. Parishes have first priority before public registration begins in November for independent sign ups. Independent sign ups tend to result in waitlists.
Emails will be sent out by the end of August with the available week. You will then decide if your child can participate with the St. Mary's group and make payments then.
St. Mary's Middle School has reserved
July 25-30, 2027 - emails have been sent for those who inquired
