Boy's Camps
Fortifying the Faith of Our Youth
Bosco Ministries offers several camps that aren't your average summer camps. They are designed with a holistic approach to developing Catholic boys, and are meant to form their whole person; their heart, mind, body, and soul. Faith is not an adjunct to these camps, but is rather at their core. The activities, environments, and routines are all intentionally selected to create opportunity for boys to better know, love, and serve God.
- Forming Faith, Not Just Fun
Bosco Ministries' boys camps aren't about just having fun in the woods. Engaging fun activities while being immersed in the natural beauty of God's creation is a core component of Bosco Ministries' programs, but it is not the sum total of them. Rather, the activities and environment are meant to be catalysts through which the greater mission of forming boys with enduring faith can occur. We believe in offering camps that have lifelong impact on a young man's faith, and the activities are intentionally selected to help the campers learn, live, and love their Catholic Faith.
- Exemplary Leadership
We are dedicated to forging faith and character through exemplary leadership. Our camps are exclusively staffed by FSSP Priests and seminarians from Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary (the FSSP seminary in North America), who exemplify joyful holy living. Bosco Ministries' camps offer a unique opportunity for boys to witness authentic spiritual leadership firsthand. Our team is trained in St. John Bosco's Preventative Method, Save Environment, CPR and First Aid. Campers will be under expert guidance, both physically and spiritually.
- A Saintly Model
All of our programs are inspired by the example and methods of St. John Bosco. Dedicated to the spiritual well-being of young people, Don Bosco catechized boys through the Sacraments, studies, and playing games. He was passionate about the truths of the Faith, the power of the Sacraments, and the need for a deep spiritual life to take root starting in youth. Following St. John Bosco's saintly example and using his preventative method, Bosco Ministries' camps ignite a fierce love of God and His Church in campers' hearts.

Laying Strong Foundations
“The foundations you laid for them in their younger years have carried with them as they have become adults. They still refer to the stories and lessons they learned at camp as they make life decisions. They still talk about the seminarians and priests, this many years later, as being strong influences. And we can tell that this made an impact on them as men, especially in the areas of remaining strong Catholics and purity.”
“The camps are really good and continue to stay great! All four of my older sons have gone as either campers, junior counselors, and/or senior counselors, and they all loved it."”
“I loved experiencing this great camp, Camp St. Isaac Jogues and all the challenges we had. All the boys were very awesome and the seminarians as well. ”
