On June 6, St. Paul’s donated knotted quilts to Camp Noah.  What is Camp Noah?  Camp Noah is a fun-filled, week long day camp for children throughout the US that facilitates the emotional recovery for children from the devastating impact of a disaster such as: tornadoes, floods and other traumatic life events. 

There are trained national volunteer teams.  Camp Noah celebrates each child as a special gift from God and helps them identify their unique gifts and talents.  Each child, grades 1-6, receives a quilt and takes it  home.  This year there will be a Camp Noah in the Poconos.  Camp Noah is not a faith-based camp.
