WESPINE SUPERCAMP
June 28/29 - July 3, 2026

Camp I: For Boys Grades 3rd - 5th (Monday - Friday)

Camp II: For Boys Grades 6th - 8th (Sunday - Friday)

The Wespine SuperCamp is an action-packed summer camp for entering 3rd through 8th grade boys.

Each boy is placed on a team with about 10 other campers. (For older boys they will share a cabin with their teammates). All teams will participate in activities, and competes in games as a group, while getting to choose individual hobbies. Activities will include Field Exercises, Team Challenges, Sports, Skill Building, Virtue Talks and Spiritual Formation. Staff have been carefully selected and trained to be outstanding leaders and role models. They share the ideals of the SuperCamp and are dedicated to the personal growth of each participant. The staff includes experienced adults plus college and high school staff who are chosen for their maturity and experience.

For overnight campers, each evening features a camp-wide activity ranging from capture the flag to a treasure hunt to the talent show on the last night. Spiritual activities, such as daily Mass, praying the Rosary, and confession, are offered.

Throughout the week, the counselors of each team help the boys to apply principles of leadership and lessons from the virtue talks to concrete situations during the camp. Most importantly, the staff speak individually with each camper to help him grow in self-knowledge and to formulate resolutions for growing in character after the camp.

The Camp will take place at the Outdoor Education Center at Babler State Park.
