Arcadia Mejia attends Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas. She has declared her major as Secondary Education and Social Studies, with a minor in Theology. God willing, she hopes to one day be a school principal.

Olivia Messina has been involved with Camp Savio since 2012, starting off as a Summer Staffer and transitioning into a Director. Over the years Olivia has learned the importance of the impact that Camp Savio has on the relationship that each child can build with Christ. Once a camper needed and being able to experience Christ’s love through a camp experience has impacted her love for Camp Savio. She has a true passion for working with the youth and a passion about building Camp Savio into what Christ truly wants it to be.

Michael Nations is currently the Director of Youth Ministry for the Diocese. He has a passion for the youth and for camp stemming from his years at Sacred Heart Parish and working with the Missouri Dept. of Conservation. He has firsthand knowledge of the impact that nature can play on the lives of people, especially Youth. Jesus spent 40 days encountering nature and praying to God so Michael has always realized the importance of being centered around God and nature. He became more involved so that the youth are able to understand how this is the focus of Camp Savio. mnations@diocesekcsj.org 816-714-2374
