after a camper has left, will be shredded. Only
authorized guests are allowed on the premises
during camp sessions. No pets allowed.
SPIRITUAL FORMATION
Camps Kateri Tekakwitha combine demanding outdoor activities
with powerful spiritual instruction bringing about a unique
encounter with God. Although our adventure activities are
memorable, often the love that campers experience through
prayer is what kids remember most. Your child will have the
opportunity to experience different forms of prayer during camp.
Adoration, Reconciliation, veneration of the cross, rosaries,
litanies, Mass, informal group prayer and individual
reflection are among the many styles of prayer we
practice here. These prayer experiences will have a
lasting impact on campers ONLY IF they are lived
out and continued. We encourage you to pray for
your children during camp and with them after
camp.
