The Facilities Committee works with Catholic Charities of Summit County to provide input and help implement the physical improvements at Camp. The donations of the members of Friends of Camp Christopher make it possible for our organization to help Camp Christopher as it prioritizes expenditures to maintain/improve the program’s facilities. Current FoCC Facilities Committee Chair Bill Marras is a trustee of the Diocese of Cleveland Facilities Corporation, and as such can keep our members informed of current activity and upcoming capital projects. One happy result of this collaboration was the 2016 renovation of Cabin Old James Gibbons. The FoCC donated $2,500 for this successful project.

In this Coronavirus-controlled spring of 2020, the committee  has decided to help Camp with it’s “CURTAINS FOR CAMP PLEDGE,” and is purchasing curtains for three cabins: Oscar Romero, Casa la Paz and Kutz Lodge. The new curtains will be fire retardant and uniform throughout each cabin, replacing those that are torn, irregular and do not meet code. The cost to cover the twenty windows involved will be about $700. If you would like to be an active part of this project, FoCC is accepting donations to defray some or all of the cost.
Donations (earmarked “Curtains for Camp”) can be mailed to FoCC via the US Mail, PO Box 13814, Fairlawn, OH 44334, or online via our PayPal (DONATE) link on our website.
