Camp Sancta Maria
Camp Sancta Maria (CSM), a single gender camp with separate sessions for boys and for girls, focuses on wholesome recreation in an atmosphere of Christian faith. Since its founding in 1933, CSM has been offering young people ages 8 to 16 a summer full of fun, personal growth, and spiritual development. Our campers escape their daily routines of electronics and digital media in a technology-free zone to enjoy 96 acres of sacred space filled with excitement and adventure, while they make new friends and learn interpersonal skills in an atmosphere of Christian faith. Whether it is playing sports, horseback riding, learning to swim, or traversing our ropes course, our campers feel refreshed and experience a sense of wonder as they live more fully in nature—a very different experience from their daily routine. It is not unusual for campers to have a relationship with God become real or become revived at CSM as they open their hearts in the unique atmosphere of CSM—and the Holy Spirit is then allowed to get through to them. CSM offers daily Mass, Reconciliation, the Angelus, grace before and after each meal, and our Night Chapel service. Although we are proudly a Catholic Camp, we work hard to ensure that campers of all denominations and faiths feel welcome at CSM.
