The countdown is on for Sunset Point Camp's 107th season! We are incredibly grateful to our friends at Columbia Threadneedle, who helped to get the camp ready to welcome 442 campers this summer. The volunteers painted, made beds, and spruced up the property.

And thank you to the Catholic Charities Boston trustees, staff, Friends of Sunset Point Camp, volunteers, and neighbors who attended our kick-off luncheon on Wednesday, June 10. They learned about Sunset Point Camp’s history, what campers will be doing this summer, how to get involved, and saw the camp’s newly renovated basketball court, made possible by a generous donor whose mission is to bring joy to youth.
