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.

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.

 

NEW CAMP High Adventure Camp (11th -12th graders) Be prepared to combine exciting adventures with the chance to go deep into your faith.  This camp is for high school junior and senior students who have attended CLI (Christian Leadership Institute) or Camp LIFE in the past.  The small group size, a limit of 16 campers, will take on exciting challenges such as caving, canoeing the Green River, and a high ropes course plus all the activities that Gasper River has to offer.  Time for group discussion, service, personal time and celebrating the sacraments will round out the week.  This camp will provide faith and fun in a way to help you be the person that God has created you to be.
