CAMP GOLDEN STATE

THIS IS TRULY A "CAN'T MISS" EVENT

From the moment your parish group arrives, they’ll be embraced by our joy-filled and energetic Summer Staff!
 
Every facet of programming – from daily Mass, to games and activities, to Bible studies and praise and worship are crafted with your teens in mind, igniting their Catholic faith like never before.
 
The friendships formed through course challenges, small group time, and prayer experiences create a unique and lasting community within the parish and beyond. Teens enter as guests but leave as family.
 
At this summer camp “home,” everyone has a seat at the table.
 
A week at Life Teen camp ensures every young soul understands that through their Catholic faith, they never walk alone.

One of our big focuses at Life Teen Summer Camp is group-based discipleship. We want campers to come and encounter Christ, grow in their faith, and grow closer with their group. We require adult chaperones (core members) to attend camp with their group at a ratio of 1:8 gender specific. All adults must be 21+ years old and be safe environment trained and background checked in their home diocese.

Our desire is that they fully participate and journey alongside campers all week long. The relationships built at camp will help campers feel supported in their faith journey going home.

We take care of all the logistics of a week at camp so that the youth minister/adult leaders can simply focus on being relational with the campers.

Tell me more about adult chaperones?

Our desire is that they fully participate and journey alongside campers all week long. The relationships built at camp will help campers feel supported in their faith journey going home. They must be 21+ years old and safe environment trained and background checked in their home diocese. We require a ratio of 1:8 gender specific (for every 8 male campers you need 1 adult male chaperone and for every 8 female campers you need 1 adult female chaperone).

What’s the schedule?

Camp begins with check-in each Sunday from 1-3 pm followed by Mass, dinner, and a kick-off session! 

Each morning begins with an opportunity to go to confession followed by a short time to dive into Scripture before breakfast. 

A typical day at camp includes time for team building activities (low ropes/high ropes); fun camp classics like messy games, obstacle course, and paintball; and some chill down time 

We gather together for Mass each day and spend time encountering the Lord in powerful times of prayer like Eucharistic Adoration, veneration, and silent meditation 

Each evening ends with Snack Chat, a time for each group to gather to debrief the day and enjoy a camp provided snack 

Camp ends on Friday at Noon following a closing Mass, a to-go lunch is provided
