About Campamento 2022
Campamento supports the Hogar Teresa Toda in the Dominican Republic, a home run by Carmelite Sisters for very poor girls. The camp is organized, supported, and run by Church of Saint Edward (Bloomington, MN) parishioners, staff, and friends across the country. This is the 25th anniversary of our relationship. We’ve had over 100 travelers, many return travelers, since 2002. We’re excited you are considering joining us this year!
“Si Dios quiere”
We couldn’t go in 2020 or 2021 and we’re more optimistic. yet cautious about this year. The girls have been going to school and in general carrying on with COVID, so we think it could work this summer.
So, if God wants, we will have two weeks of camp: July 9-17. We need at least 6 travelers per week, maximum of 10.

“Goodness always tends to spread. Every authentic experience of truth and goodness seeks by its very nature to grow within us, and any person who has experienced a profound liberation becomes more sensitive to the needs of others. As it expands, goodness takes root and develops. If we wish to lead a dignified and fulfilling life, we have to reach out to others and seek their good. In this sense, several saying of Saint Paul will no surprise us: “The love of Christ urges us on”(2 Cor 5:14); “Woe to me if I do not proclaim the Gospel” (1 Cor 9:16).”
