Family and faith are two of the most important things in all of our lives

About Family Camp

Family and faith are two of the most important things in all of our lives. Family Camp celebrates both of these by giving your family the time to eat meals, pray, and do adventure activities such as climbing the rock wall, fishing, or horseback riding together as a family.

These activities will also be available on an age-appropriate level throughout the weekend for the children 2 years olds and older, as well as VBS, archery and more. Adults will have time for community with other parents, surrounded by the peace and beauty of God’s handiwork at Camp Kateri Tekakwitha.

Más información

Los padres trabajan tan duro para proporcionar dinero y facilitar todas nuestras actividades que puede resultar difícil encontrar tiempo para ESTAR juntos.
Considere Family Camp como una opción para que su familia se acerque más a los demás y a Jesús. Las mejores partes de Family Camp son las cosas simples, como ver a las familias comer juntas, ver a mamá y papá jugar frisbee con sus hijos o ver a una familia aprendiendo unos de otros y, sobre todo, orando juntos. El campamento familiar tiene todo incluido en el precio y no hay problemas de conducir en el tráfico, dar propinas, cocinar, limpiar o muchas de las otras distracciones que impiden que las familias disfruten de los viajes familiares.
Si tiene necesidades médicas o dietéticas especiales y desea hablar sobre esto con el campamento, comuníquese con el supervisor dietético del campamento al 785-746-5693 después del 1 de junio o envíe un correo electrónico a camptekreg@gmail antes de que comience la temporada de campamentos. Trabajaremos con usted para ayudar a satisfacer esas necesidades mientras esté en el campamento. Es útil cuando se incluyen las necesidades especiales al registrarse.

Camp Transforms Lives

Powerful testimonies from campers of years past.

Camp really taught me how to have a relationship with God through entering into silent Prayer every day. Learning how to live out this relationship with God at camp has also helped me to deepen my friendships with those around me, and many of my closest lifelong friends are a result of living in relationship with God at Camp Tekakwitha.

“Meeting Jesus. I thought I knew who He was, and then I started working here. He showed HIs face in so many different places that I had never even looked. I can't begin to describe the love that I felt every single session. He showed me how close He wanted to be with me every day, every meal, every second."

Over and over again I encounter God in the chapel surrounded by God, saints and friends. God has given me so many examples and inspirations and lifelines as I try to walk closer and closer with him and to him each day!

"Camp has given me life-long, virtuous friendships. In that way it's still inspiring and growing my faith even though I'm not actively involved at camp anymore"

“One of the things that makes camp so special is that it is just one big God moment, whether you're there for a meal, 3 days of Kateri, 9 days of Extreme, or on staff for an entire summer. An attitude of gratitude permeates the campus. Nothing is taken for granted. Everything is recognized as a miracle. Each day is better than the day before, so each day, that's the best day.”

“I have made the absolute best friends because of Camp Tekakwitha.”

"Learning the joy of self-giving, establishing a habit of daily prayer, and making lifelong friends in Christ."

“Camp gave me great faith formation, compassionate friends, and an ever-deepening faith-life that I take with me everywhere.”

The Heart of Camp

Camp Kateri Tekakwitha combines demanding outdoor activities with powerful, spiritual instruction bringing about a unique encounter with God. Although our adventure activities are memorable, often the love that campers experience through prayer is what they remember most.
