GIRLS' SUMMER CAMPS
We run an awesome series of themed summer camps for middle school girls! Your girls will experience the life of St Kateri Tekakwitha and the history of the Iroquois martyrs, learn about the life and teachings of St John Paul II, and have a ton of fun in the meantime! The themes add to the wholesome fun and adventure to a deep Christ-centered experience around Christ in the Eucharist, the Gospels, and in each other. These camps will engage the imagination of your middle school girls.
Our campers learn from a variety of leaders. One or two priests are present in the girls' camps for daily Mass, confessions and a chance for conversation and fellowship. A handful of young women and moms as chaperones attend each summer camp as group and activity leaders. We also have a dozen or so high school girls as counselors in training that help lead activities. Furthermore, every camper has an older peer as team leader and is part of a team of friends. We pride ourselves too on the handful of volunteer moms that come cook for us for the week!
We love it when your kids go home renewed and excited after spending a week enjoying summertime activities and living out their Catholic identity with new friends their age and exemplary leaders.
