Don Bosco's Oratory comes alive in a particular way each summer when numerous young people participate in Salesian summer camps. Be they residential or day camps, young people experience a home that welcomes, activities where life lessons are learned, a playground for making new friends and a community that helps them grown in relationship with Christ. 

These experiences are also the source of personal growth for those youth who help animate the camps.  Through responsible service they discover what it means to love and thereby their capacity to make a difference in the lives of others. 

This brief movie captures well the elements that create great summers and memories for youth who attend Salesian camps:
