Edge Camps Wrap Up 2025 Season

August 28 brought to a close 13 days straight of EDGE Camps for almost 600 kids whose parishes planned and ran the camps this year in collaboration with the Office of Catholic Youth.  Three camps for 11 to 13-year-olds, aptly named Edge Camp West, Edge Camp East and Edge Camp North comprise of parishes from those regions across the archdiocese who all run Edge youth ministries for their parish kids throughout the academic year.

This year more than 34 parishes were part of the collaboration. Now in its 15th year, Edge Camp began as a vision of Fr. Peter Choi (now the pastor at Sacred Heart of Jesus parish in Etobicoke) with five youth ministers, core volunteers and 126 kids in 2009. 

Over the years the camp has had to grow to meet to bring in new parish members as youth ministry continues to grow across the Archdiocese.  The camps continue to be hosted and welcomed by Camp White Pine in Haliburton.

Those interested in starting up a parish youth ministry can contact the Office of Catholic Youth at 416-599-7676.
