We named camp after Blessed Solanus Casey for a couple of reasons:
1) Bl. Solanus serves as an example to all of how to live Authentic lives as Catholics, with Humility, Charity, and Strength.
2) The origin of this camp was inspired by Pine Hills Camp, run in Ann Arbor, Michigan, by Renewal Ministries. Blessed Solanus ministered and was buried in Detroit. He is beloved in the southeast Michigan area. We found it to be a fitting homage to these roots for us to name camp after him!
