Launch into a week of discovery! Our VBS + STEM camp invites kids to explore the wonders of God’s creation through the lens of science, technology, engineering, and math. Each day, we’ll pair a powerful Bible lesson with high-energy STEM challenges, demonstrating that faith and curiosity go hand in hand. Join us for a week of building, testing, and growing in grace!

Covecrest is famous for its "best camp ever" philosophy, which balances intense physical activity with profound moments of prayer. Adventure: Activities include a high and low ropes course, a rock climbing wall, a zip line through the trees, and the legendary "Messy Games"—a tradition involving mud, paint, and water. The "Away Day": Most groups spend one day off-site for white-water rafting on the nearby Chattooga River. Spiritual Life: The camp is centered on the Sacraments. Teens participate in daily Mass, and the "main event" of the week is often a powerful evening of Eucharistic Adoration with live worship music. Confession is also made available throughout the week.

Hidden Lake isn't just a summer camp; it’s a place where the chaos of the world fades into the background, and the beauty of God’s creation takes center stage. Nestled in the stunning mountains of Dahlonega, Georgia, Life Teen Hidden Lake offers an unforgettable week of high-energy adventure, deep prayer, and lasting community. What to Expect Prepare for a week that balances wild fun with profound spiritual encounters. At Hidden Lake, we believe that being a teenager should be joyful, and being a Catholic should be an adventure. The Adventure: Conquer the high ropes course, fly down the zip line, or spend your afternoon at the lake—complete with the "blob," paddleboards, and kayaks. The Community: Meet hundreds of teens from across the country. Whether it’s during messy games, "Olympic" competitions, or shared meals, you’ll find a brotherhood and sisterhood rooted in Christ. The Encounter: Experience the Sacraments like never before. From powerful evening sessions and world-class speakers to quiet moments of Adoration and daily Mass, you will have the space to hear God's voice.
