Camp with a Higher Purpose

Where Faith, Friendship, and Fun Come Alive.

Justin Brown and Fr. Chris Malatesta

As your camp directors, we are honored to serve and committed to making this a place where faith, fun, and friendship thrive.  With hears rooted in ministry and a shared vision for excellence, we’re here to ensure that every camper and guest experiences the beauty of God’s creation, the joy of community, and the peace of a well-cared-for facility.  We’re excited to welcome you and walk with you on this journey!  Justin & Fr. Chris

 

Our Mission

Our ministry allows campers,  families and groups to deepen their connection to God in a personal and communal discovery of God’s world. We maintain an environment which is conducive to deepening friendships and building authentic relationships by providing a place where one can explore issues of trust, faith and community.  Our natural environment provides a place for spirit-filled reflection and exploration.

For Boys

Boys need summer camp because it gives them a space to grow and have fun and be the people God created them to be.  Away from screens and distractions, they find adventure, friendship, and real challenges that help build confidence, character, and resilience.  They learn to lead and follow, how to pray and how to play – all in a community that supports faith, respect, and responsibility.  It’s where they’re free to be themselves while discovering who they are becoming, grounded in values that last a lifetime.

For Girls

Girls need camp because they deserve a place where they can be fully themselves – confident, creative, courageous, and beloved by god.  In a world full of pressure and camparison, camp offers freedom: to grow in faith, to build deep friendships, to try new things without fear, and to discover their worth beyond what the world tells them.  Surrounded by supportive mentors and a community rooted in love, girls learn they are strong, sacred, and made for more.  Camp helps them rise – in faith, in joy, and purpose.

For Families and Groups

For Every Age, Every Stage, Every Heart.  We host family reunions, wedding receptions, family camping, retreats and so much more.  Families need camp because they need sacred time together, away from the busyness of life, to reconnect with each other and with God.  In a world that pulls families in a hundred directions, camp offers share experiences – laughter around a fire, quiet moments in nature, prayer as a family, and the joy of simply being present.  It’s a place where bonds are strengthened, faith is renewed, and memories are made that last a lifetime.  At Camp families rediscover what matters most:  love, faith, and togetherness.
