YOUTH MINISTRY SUMMER TRIPS
Our summer trips are geared towards helping your teen encounter Christ through the Sacraments, empowering talks, and friendships that are created throughout their time spent together.
COVECREST
Date: May 29th - June 3rd, 2023 CLOSED APPLICATIONS
Open to incoming Freshmen through Graduating Seniors
Tucked away in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Georgia, Covecrest is a long-time favorite summer trip for the teens of St. Anthony’s! Once we arrive at camp, we get to play and pray with new friends from every corner of the country.
The week of camp includes the perfect balance of time to encounter Christ and time to have fun. We will get to do everything from playing sports, high ropes, and whitewater rafting, to hearing dynamic talks, spending time in small groups, and experiencing the Sacraments. Every week, a line-up of dynamic presenters, talented musicians, and dedicated priests serve along with camp staff to encourage a deeper relationship with Christ for each teen.
Location: Tiger, GA
