History
Report
Father John P. Foley established and built Camp St. Thomas in 1924 and welcomed the first campers (boys) in the summer of 1925. During that summer there were a total of five buildings at camp. The name of the camp later changed to Father Foley's Camp for Boys. In the early years, Father Foley made a promise to the Blessed Virgin that if camp was successful he would build and dedicate a chapel.
