Campers

Camp Survive is open to students that have completed 6th, 7th, or 8th grade prior to the start of camp (that school year). 

Prayer Team

Those serving on the prayer team must have completed 9th grade prior to the start of camp.  All applicants will receive an e-mail and a letter about two weeks after the March 31st application deadline.

Junior Counselors

To serve as a Junior Counselor at Camp Survive, the individual must have at least completed 10th grade and can serve through the summer after their graduation.  All applicants will receive an e-mail and a letter about two weeks after the March 31st application deadline.

Just like all of the diocesan youth programs, the sacraments are at the center of this camp.  Students have the opportunity to attend daily Mass, go to Confession, spend time worshipping our Lord in Adoration, and connect with other youth their age through small groups and the many traditional activities of camp.  Camp games, activities, and food provided.

JCs are a vital part of our camp community.  They eat, sleep, work, and pray with their peers. Junior Counselors have two primary roles while at  camp: to assist the youth ministry staff and to lead the middle school campers closer to Christ through their example. To accomplish this, JCs will help lead small groups, perform skits, supervise and participate in activities, and pray with and for our campers.

Grade 6-8 Campers:  If the week you prefer to attend fills up, the registration will become a Wait List.  There is no cost to register for the Waiting List.  You choose "Wait List" and add it to your cart and register will all your information except payment.  

If both weeks of camp are full, you may register for each week's Wait List (separately) if that works for your schedule.  You won't be able to attend both weeks of camp.  You will be contacted prior to being moved off of the Wait List if we are able to offer you registration at camp.  If it still works for your schedule, we will transfer you in from the Wait List and contact you about payment.
