Going to camp for the first time? This summer camp FAQ for kids answers the questions campers ask most.
What kinds of activities do we do at camp?
You can choose from archery, hatchet throwing, slingshots, arts and crafts, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, paddle boats, paddle boards, dance, drama, sports, swimming and Catholic faith-building experiences! Check out Activities for details. That doesn’t include all-camp programming like the CYC classic Angels and Demons, tie-dye, crazy relays, beach parties, and more. Each week is a little different – there might be a Christmas-themed lunch or surprise skits from the counselors. You never know what crazy things staff and campers will come up with!
Can I be in the same cabin as my friend from home?
Yes. List your friend(s) in the “buddy request” section of your registration form. If you have questions after registration, have your parent/guardian contact the office.
Can my friends who aren’t Catholic come to CYC?
Yes! We welcome youth of all backgrounds. All campers take part in daily praise and worship and the weekly prayer service, regardless of faith.
Can I bring my phone, video games, or other electronics?
No. Please leave these at home. You will be very busy at camp and won’t have time to use them – plus cabins get messy and it’s hard to keep track of expensive things. CYC is not responsible for lost or broken items.
What should I bring to camp?
Check the packing list. Bring shorts, t-shirts, socks, pajamas and more – and a positive attitude, curiosity, creativity and a willingness to try new things and make new friends!
What kind of food do you serve?
Meals are served buffet style, so you can choose what and how much you’d like. There’s a salad bar at lunch and dinner too. Please call the office with any dietary concerns or special needs.
