Mission
But one thing you may be sure
of, that whilst you work for God, whether you succeed or not,
He will amply reward you.
(Rice to Brian Bolger, 10 August 1810)

The volunteer leaders on the camps are young adults from the community.
The participants on an Edmund Rice Camp come from diverse backgrounds
and situations, but all benefit from an involvement with the camps.
Participants are invited to attend Edmund Rice Camps based on referrals
from a range of sources including schools, government agencies and
other organisations. Referrals arise in a variety of circumstances.
These may include social, economic or emotional hardship. Alternatively,
participants may simply benefit from a break in their normal lives.
Two fundamental characteristics of Edmund Rice Camps are the one-to-one
ratio maintained between volunteer 'leaders' and participants on camp,
and the importance placed on the need for volunteers to reflect on
their in-camp experiences. (Wikipedia)
