Summer Camp Descriptions Please take a few minutes to look over what each camp has to offer. All activities will be led by Gasper River Staff, who are trained in all adventure activities, lifeguarding, first aid, and CPR. Each week of camp combines learning about the Catholic faith and experiencing thrilling adventures. Prayerful experiences, such as Stations of the Cross and the Rosary Walk, will add new meaning to each camper's week as they celebrate the Sacraments in God’s creation. This combination of faith, fun, and friends will lead to a deeper understanding and appreciation of the camper’s life-long adventure with God.
Explorer Camp (3rd & 4th graders): Be prepared for an action packed half-week of camp. The Explorer Camper, youth who will be entering the 3rd and 4th grades in the fall, will participate in lessons about their faith mixed in with swimming, arts & crafts, tubing and canoeing on the river, hiking, archery, team building games, parachute games and much more. This is a wonderful opportunity for youngsters to explore what summer camp and their faith is all about.
Expedition Camp (5th & 6th graders): Get set to take a week long expedition in adventure and faith. The Expedition Camper, youth who will be entering the 5th and 6th grades in the fall, will participate in zip-line, low elements, team building games, hiking, archery, canoeing and tubing on the river, arts & crafts, and much, much more. This wonderful expedition will lead campers deeper in their faith.

Camp L.I.F.E. (9th – 12th graders): Live It For Eternity! This week long camp experience provides many opportunities for young men and women, from incoming freshmen to just graduated seniors, to grow as people and to grow closer to God. Large group time, small group time and personal time with God all take place in an ideal setting. These campers will combine their faith with all the activities camp has to offer, such as kayaking, canoeing and tubing on the river, rappelling, zip-line, low elements, team building games, archery, hiking, nature games, team sports, arts & crafts, campfires, skits, and tons more. This experience will help any young person live out their faith in ways they never thought possible before. High Adventure Camp (Must have attended Camp LIFE previously): This camp will take you deeper into your faith and into adventure than you've ever imagined. Take trips exploring caves, canoeing the Green River, and tackling challenging ropes courses all while exploring your relationship with God in new ways. The space for this new camp is limited (only 8 boys and 8 girls) so don't miss out on a chance to help us start a new adventure and to grow closer to God and others in an intimate setting. Campers will also participate in all the activies that Gasper River has to offer. Take a high adventure into your faith.
Eucharistic Life Camp (ages 18+): Come and learn about your faith and put it into practice. This camp, for those 18 years and older, will spend their days helping others in new and exciting ways.
