Camp Kateri Tekakwitha, located near McCool Junction, is offering summer camp sessions for youth entering grades 3-12. The camps include a variety of activities such as ziplines, challenge courses, slip and slide kickball, along with other outdoor events.

Jacob Brouillette, the executive director, emphasized that Camp Kateri provides more than entertainment. “But Camp Kateri is more than just fun,” he stated. “It’s a chance to encounter the living God.”

Brouillette highlighted that in the tranquility of nature, campers are encouraged to slow down and connect spiritually. They are guided to experience God's presence through the Eucharist and genuine friendships. “Surrounded by the beauty of creation, they come to understand that God designed all of this wonder to reveal His deep love for us,” he explained. He added that nature serves as an invitation for a relationship with God in diverse ways.

This year includes high school-specific experiences at Camp Kateri. High school campers can participate in overnight camping adventures which involve cooking over open fires and sleeping under the stars. Camps will be organized separately for young men and women, focusing on their distinct desires. Young men will explore themes like adventure and beauty pursuit while young women will engage in their aspirations for beauty and being part of a grand adventure.

Daily schedules at Camp Kateri incorporate Mass, prayer sessions, and reflection time aimed at fostering faith growth and strengthening relationships with Jesus.

“Whether your child is soaring through the air on the zipline or laughing with friends beneath the stars, Camp Kateri offers a safe, faith-filled, and joy-filled environment for personal and spiritual growth,” Brouillette said.
