Cyo/Camp Howard

About

CYO youth sports has been in existence in the Portland area since 1946. Camp Howard has been in existence since 1952. Philip Murphy is credited with the early success of the programs. Mr. Murphy served for 30 years as CYO Director before he retired in the early 1970’s. Today’s organization is governed by the CYO/Camp Howard Executive Board of Directors. The Executive Director oversees the athletic and camping programs. The Directors of Sports and Administration organize and direct CYO athletic activities; the Camp Director directs Camp Howard’s summer programs. CYO/Camp Howard is committed to the dignity and worth of all youth. CYO/Camp Howard enables the gifted to excel and the less gifted to participate and improve. The ultimate responsibility for the success of the program lies with the many adult volunteers who make this program possible. Adults involved in CYO/Camp Howard must remember that the program exists for the Christian growth of young people. Coaches and Camp Staff must be constantly aware of the tremendous influence they have on the youth and should use this opportunity to set a positive Christian example on and away from the court, field and camp.
