Outdoor Programs

Field Trips & Recreation.

Outdoor programs such as a field trip to CYO Camp provide an opportunity to enable people to connect with each other while they live and play together at camp. In addition, they gain respect for themselves, each other, and the natural world through experiences that don’t happen at school or home. A field trip to CYO Camp sets the stage for relationship building and group members bonding through this shared time. We partner with YOU to create a hands-on experience that can strengthen the sense of friendship and connection.


Outdoor Education. Curriculum Based.

These experiential education programs are designed for students to have hands-on activities in nature. The diverse range of programs offered are designed to be interactive, thought provoking, and challenging in nature, while meeting certain state standards for teaching in the process. Our staff is well trained, knowledgeable, energetic, courteous, and ready to serve.

Leadership Training.

Leadership Training at CYO Camp is transformational. Participants learn to be role models peers by learning
how to …communicate effectively, listen to others, formulate an opinion, navigate the waves of change, remain fluid and flexible and how to 
reach a consensus while still holding true to their beliefs.

Leadership Training challenges individuals physically, mentally, and emotionally as they learn to lead with compassion and humility. 


Community Building.

CYO Camp Community Building Programs help individuals develop the mindset, skill-set and tool-set to create and see more options in their lives. Our aim is to assist in the development of concrete skills that orient people towards a healthy mix of confidence and humility, enabling them to be effective members in their communities.

To this end, we offer a wide range of structured experiences designed to: build trust, facilitate honest communication; promote faith, self-respect, tolerance, and personal insight and provide an opportunity to interact with healthy mentors.
