Catholic Youth Camp

Catholic Youth Camp 2022

Following a very blessed and welcomed launch of CYC 2021, we are looking forward to CYC 2022. It was edifying to see youth ministers and pastors sharing the week with their campers. Inspired by this, and to better ensure year-round discipling and faith formation, please register one youth minister, priest, deacon, religious and/or adult chaperone for every six high school students coming to camp. Your adults will be with your campers and the missionaries when we break into small groups. Sharing in the discussions, prayer and activities creates meaningful memories and a common reference for the pastoral year ahead.
