Why do people love CYO Camp Rancho Framasa?
​

"Where do I begin....??? I feel like the entire experience was magical to these children. Many have never been in the woods before or gone hiking so the joy to be in such a space was a gift for me to experience. There really was not one thing... I will say climbing up the big hill and having several students just saying.... " I can't do it... " and then making it to the top... I could see the pride in their spirit and that gives them hope they can overcome all challenges with hope and faith."

"It was the best, as usual, with everyone being SO upbeat and positive and making each child feel special and wanting to come back. My son LOVED his counselor and loved the people in his group. HE also talked a lot about the beads he received and some of the positive/Catholic messaging - which resonated with him - which I love."
