CYO Camp Lawrence

Embarking on a journey to Camp Lawrence equates to taking a joyous plunge into a pool of enriching experiences. Over the past six decades, this camp has served as a second home for a whopping 40,000 children, some hailing from right around the corner in Valparaiso, Indiana, while others have journeyed from as far-flung as Texas, Alaska, and even beyond the US borders. The magic of Camp Lawrence is in its ability to allow youngsters, aged seven to fourteen, to immerse themselves in the heart-stirring wonders of the great outdoors. All this while basking in a warm Catholic Christian environment that nurtures not just their physical growth, but stimulates their intellectual and spiritual development as well. Under the watchful eyes of highly trained counselors, camp goers are whisked away on a rollercoaster of adventure, forming indelible memories as they gather around a cozy campfire, embark on nature hikes, or dive into the cooling embrace of a swimming pool. The young artists' creativity finds a fertile ground here, with myriad opportunities to craft their own masterpieces. But the real cherry on top of this delightful camping sundae is the myriad of sports activities that add a dash of adrenaline to the mix. Each activity is a stepping stone to not just fun and enjoyment, but also to learning valuable life skills like teamwork, leadership, and resilience. Camp Lawrence isn't just another summer camp. It's an unforgettable journey of joy, growth, and discovery. So pack your bags and join us, because the adventure of a lifetime awaits!
