Kids Camp is a week long camp, running Monday through Friday, from 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m., with night activities Monday, Wednesday and Fridays. The camp is completely organized and run by volunteers from the Youth Ministry of St. Gerard Majella Church in Canton.

The proceeds from Kids Camp help to fund the summer outreach programs of St. Gerard's Youth Ministry. St. Gerard's Youth Ministry is known for its outreach program. During the school year they are serving lunch to the homeless on Boston Common, helping the families at a homeless shelter and more.

High School students and adults volunteer and give up one week of their summer vacation to make sure that the campers, ages five to 12, have the most memorable week of their summer. There are arts and crafts, games, sports, slip n slide and splash mountain which is a dunk tank.

Some of the campers come back as counselors in later years. It's become a real Canton tradition!
