From July 5th to July 19th of this year, the annual Polish Scouting Association summer camps took place in Kaszuby, Ontario.  Close to 700 participants of all ages, both scouts and guides, participated in the camps, along with instructors and support personnel.  Accompanying them for the two weeks was Fr. Pawel Ratajczak OMI, chaplain to the summer camps, who took part in various activities and provided sacramental ministry.  Fr. Pawel Nyrek OMI, scouting chaplain, visited the camps as well. Frs. Michal Pajak OMI and Daniel Janulewicz OMI, who work in area parishes, also came to visit.  The Lord blessed the camps with good weather and a good spirit.  Czuwaj!
