PRAY with other Catholic men.

Men are called to be the spiritual head of their family. That's a high calling! It helps to see how other men do it. And it's encouraging to pray with them and learn from their example and experience. And it's very refreshing to pray outside in nature.

Morning, Evening, and Night Prayers
Mass Sat & Sun
Rosary in Small Groups
Small Group Encounter with Christ

FELLOWSHIP and have fun with other guys like yourself.

Life is busy! You rarely get a chance to lower your guard and be yourself around other men looking for a break from work and life. Enjoy the company of other men, relax, and unwind from your job and responsibilities.

Swim, fish, dive, and canoe on our 30 ft lake
Axe throwing, archery, hiking, sports
Rest in the hammock circle
Nighttime bonfires
Meals inside and outside

ENJOY all the property and facilities.

Enjoy our clear, 30 ft deep lake at a perfect time of the year for swimming!
Take some time to fish if you'd like.
Walk through the fields, play basketball in our gym, soccer on our field, try the American Ninja ropes course, play archery tag or bring your own archery equipment, and we even have Gaga ball!

Our new bathhouse facility has restrooms with 10 stalls and 8 showers, and an infirmary.
We have benches and seats for you to enjoy our bonfire during the day or at night under a clear sky.
Don't miss the beautiful sunrise and sunset at camp!

EAT and DRINK what men like.

Menus may vary, but for example: Enjoy blueberry pancakes in the morning, egg casserole, bacon, and a cup of coffee. For the later meals, we may have grilled hamburgers and brats, metts, baked potato, beans, salad, watermelon, and more!

The men are organized into teams, and each team takes care of cooking one meal for the whole group.
We have a separate kitchen with various equipment for cooking.
Alcoholic beverages are allowed with moderation and at specific meals.

SERVE with other men.

Our youth camp saw +1,500 youth and adults the year 2019. Our facility always needs maintenance and improvement. So there are always small projects that we need help with! During this weekend, you help do some small projects that collectively make a difference for us at camp.

Some projects could be:

Fort building and repair,
Weed whacking, seeding
Wood splitting, tree cutting,
Cleaning and organizing,
...and other projects!

The men's campout ends Sunday at noon, but men are welcome to stay for lunch and volunteer for camp work projects up to 5pm.

BE FORMED to be a Man of God.

It's a great weekend to reflect with other men about what a man's role and calling is in the world. We are men, but also husbands, fathers, sons, and brothers. WE even call God our Father. This weekend will also help you reflect about the challenges that men face in this world. Furthermore, you will learn about Regnum Christi spirituality and how JESUS CHRIST is our model as men and the center of our life.

Participate in talks and discussions on what it means to be a Man of God today by a Legionary of Christ priest and/or formed men in Regnum Christi.
More than one priest is available the whole weekend for you to speak to.
Confessions are available.
Learn about how you can be a disciple and apostle of Christ within Regnum Christi.

ACCOMODATIONS
