Where high-adventure activities lead to a high-adventure faith

Too many kids believe that church is a chore and God is distant.

Young people of this generation are more likely to lose their faith than ever before: 5 out of 6 will stop practicing their Catholic faith within 10 years of their Confirmation.

We believe that there’s more.

A week at Catholic Youth Summer Camp is a chance for students in grades 6-12 to step away from the distractions of daily life and experience high-adventure activities that lead to a high-adventure faith.

“I felt the presence of God in Adoration. He let me know that I am enough, and at that moment, all my stress and anxiety was gone.”

Sara

Camper Parent

"So grateful that you inspired a thirst for Jesus in a reluctant boy who was focused on sports & anything but 'church.' Thank you for showing how great it can be. I’ve seen a huge change in him."

Agnes

Camper

"Before I came to Damascus I was in a very bad place. I felt so alone and that nobody could fix me. But I came with an open heart, and I have never felt so much joy and peace! I have given my life to Jesus because He gave me His."

Christine

Camper Parent

"My son had a fantastic time at camp and came home with a deeper faith and understanding of his relationship with Christ. Since coming home he has continued to make prayer a priority and share his experience with others. He was engaged and fully participated in Mass instead of waiting for it to end. His experience has made an impact on the rest of our family and his siblings are all asking to go to camp now."
