Our era is by far the best era at camp for many reasons.
Our summers were the perfect combination of keeping the rich history of camp alive from our youths and pairing it with opportunities for new growth that camp had needed for a long time! We have fostered not only growth physically at camp, with additions like the Adventure Park, but also to some of the biggest and most efficient senior staff groups to date! We have grown and nourished a beautiful staff culture whether it comes in the form of Clodge Jam Sessions or opportunities for our staff to go to Mass daily! As fair as maintaining tradition AND fostering growth and new opportunities for our staff goes, our era is undefeated! I think we can all agree that our Era of camp has been the best.

id you know over 3,300 campers experienced the joy of The Pines this summer? That’s thousands of confessions shared, countless runs down the zipline, and endless splashes at the lake. With this incredible growth comes new challenges—our camp needs some extra care to keep up!
This year, we’re rallying support to provide 10 full weeks of chaplains, sisters, and lay leaders; equip our staff with formation and life-saving certifications; refresh our ropes and adventure elements; enhance waterfront and pool activities; and strengthen camp operations with key infrastructure improvements.
We’d love for you to be part of it! Prizes will be awarded for top fundraising and donor participation—so spread the word, bring your friends and family, and let’s make this year one to remember.
