Camp George

A happy camper mid-potato sack race on Field Day. All smiles, simply being a kid.

We’re expanding in 2026-2027, so more students can have space to step outside the classroom and soar.

This camper earned a 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝, and his smile says it all.

Because of you, moments like this happened all over Camp GEORGE this spring. Students built confidence, discovered what they’re capable of, and were recognized for their growth.

Gratitude is such an important part of the Camp GEORGE experience.

Throughout the week, students are encouraged to actively recognize those who encourage, support, and inspire them, and it's always meaningful to see that appreciation continue after they return home.

We're incredibly grateful for the thoughtful thank-you letters we've received from the students at St. Vincent de Paul and St. Frances Cabrini, and we're honored to share a few of them with you!

At Camp GEORGE, self-reflection and gratitude are woven into every part of the week. From nightly journals to end-of-week reflections, everyone takes the time to slow down and recognize what truly matters most.

Today, we are sharing just a few important things our campers and high school mentors carried home with them from their Outdoor School experience.

🤝 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 🤝

From Pipeline Kits to Human Knot, Field Day, and Omnikin games, our campers, teachers, and high school mentors had an unforgettable week packed with problem-solving and laughter!

These activities bring out the best in teamwork and communication and watching our camp community support each other is what it's all about.
