Eagle’s Wings Retreat Center, is located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country in Burnet, Texas and has served the greater community for over 20+ years. Life Teen is thrilled to continue this partnership with EWRC to bring Life Teen Summer Camp to Texas!
Important note: sign-ups are at the group level (such as a Parish, Youth Ministry program or Parent with teen group), we do not sign up individuals.
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.

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).
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; fun camp classics like messy games, obstacle course, and laser tag; 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
