19 years ago, St. Matthew began a summer camp for middle school youth called Camp KRIC (Kids Rooted in Christ)....and it has happened every summer since then.
KRIC's goal is to allow youth entering 7-9 grade to experience the beauty of the Catholic Church while enjoying the joy of authentic community. With activities like trips to Cedar Point and Gahanna Lanes, youth learn that faith can be present in the most fun places; through service projects and a day spent with kids from St. Stephen's Community House, youth learn the joy of serving others; through presentations, testimonies, and small group discussion, youth come to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, the one who loves them most.
Camp KRIC Leadership
Camp KRIC is run by co-directors, Mary and Megan Thompson, as well as by high school counselors and parent volunteers.
