Edmund Rice Camps in the United States
Presence - Compassion - Liberation
Camps in the USA

It is a poor thing I must own to be expecting a reward of labour from creatures who frequently are forgetful and ungrateful for favours done them, but let us do ever so little for God we will be sure He will never forget it, nor let it passed unrewarded.
(Rice to Brian Bolger 10 Aug.1810)

The Edmund Rice Camps movement in the United States began with the Christian Brothers' comminity at Brother Rice High School in Chicago.

Other schools in the Chicago area became involved and more camps in the Chicago area are planned for the summer of 2009.

A contingent from Iona Preparatory School observed and participated in the Br. Rice camp during the summer of 2008 with the intention of initiating their own camp on the grounds of Iona Preparatory, New Rochelle, New York during the summer of 2009.
