The Programs
Bosco Ministries intentionally crafts adventurous Catholic experiences to ignite the hearts of boys and men with resilient joy. We currently offer 3 main program types: Boy's camps, Expeditions, and Mission trips.
Boy's Camps
Our Boys' Camps are designed to help families build a strong foundation of faith in their boys- one that will last into adulthood. They aren't just about "making the faith fun," but showing the boys that their joy can be full even in trials through closeness to Christ and His Church. The camps are for boys aged 13-15, and there are several locations and sessions.
Expeditions
Through strenuous wilderness adventure, our expeditions are designed to prepare young men (ages 15-25, depending on the program) for the challenges of living a holy life. Expert outdoor guides (COR Expeditions) accompany the priest and seminarian leadership to set out into the backcountry, giving young men the opportunity to find the true source and magnitude of their strength- God.
Mission Trips
To continue their formation into adulthood, our mission trips give young men (ages 17-25, depending on the trip) the opportunity to find lasting joy by becoming men of prayer, labor, and service- the future leaders our families, parishes, and society need. These trips are intentionally arranged for the men to learn that in order to be men of true and lasting joy, they must first receive from God and in grateful reception of His love respond by making a gift of themselves to others.
Why Choose Bosco Ministries?
The Church is losing good men to the world, the flesh and the devil. They leave because they despair that they can be both Catholic and happy at the same time. If they stay, the Church is filled with fathers and Fr.'s who are constantly frustrated by their lack of progress in achieving or leading others to true sanctity. We need a proven solution to the problem, not just a trend or a fad or some nice taglines. Bosco Ministries is enacting the principles of forming boys that St. John Bosco used- the same ones that helped him and the Salesian Order he founded to save thousands of boys from living a life of degradation and sin in poverty on the streets of Italy.
