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.
