St Stanislaus Villa, Lonavala has been organising Catholic Family Holidays Camps for over 50 years. This Year we would like to have a special 5 day holiday camp just for our Catholic SVP Families, with the aim that our Catholic Families who would normally not be able to afford a holiday at Lonavala may now have one and absolutely free.
At the SVP Catholic Family camp, there will be fun filled activity right through the day; or if you prefer just to relax & ‘chat with an old friend or make a new one; Since this is a Catholic Family Camp, there’s the daily Eucharist in the morning & we pray the Rosary in the evening. And then of course there’s the sumptuous meals. We’re sure our Catholic SVP families will have a super time…… Yes! It is a ‘Little bit of Heaven!!!’
St Stanislaus Villa is a Jesuit Villa in the Woods – just 2 km from Lonavala station. It consists of 3 charming bungalows with 28 rooms, a main hall, Conference room, dining room & kitchen. There’s also a Chapel to refresh your soul. The property has 7 acres of forested land with tall trees and bushes, birds chirping, swings, see-saws, park-sets, benches, hammocks and open spaces to walk, run, play or to just to reconnect.
As we are keen on having full families at the camp: Here’s what makes a ‘Family’ at the Family Holiday Camp:
