Rest. Reconnect. Renew.

Life can be full—work, family, responsibilities, relationships, and the countless things that ask for our attention. This weekend offers something different: time and space to listen, pray, rest, laugh, and reconnect with the Lord alongside other women seeking the heart of Jesus.

Testimonials

What Past Retreatants Have to Say

  • Camp gave me great faith formation, compassionate friends, and an ever-deepening faith-life that I take with me everywhere.

    — Abigail, former camper

  • Over and over again I encounter God in the chapel surrounded by saints and friends. He has given me so many inspirations and lifelines as I try to walk closer with Him each day!

    — Magdalen, former camper

  • I have made the absolute best friends because of Camp Tekakwitha!

    — Sarah, former camper

  • Camp really taught me how to have a relationship with God through entering into silent Prayer every day. Learning how to live out this relationship with God at camp has also helped me to deepen my friendships with those around me.

    — Jacob, former camper

  • Jesus showed His face in so many different places that I had never even looked. I can't begin to describe the love that I felt every single session. He showed me how close He wanted to be with me every day.

    — Jonathan, former camper

  • Camp has given me life-long, virtuous friendships. In that way it's still inspiring and growing my faith even though I'm not actively involved at camp anymore.

    — Haley, former camper

  • One of the things that makes camp so special is that it is just one big God moment. An attitude of gratitude permeates the campus. Nothing is taken for granted. Everything is recognized as a miracle.

    — Tighe, former camper

  • Learning the joy of self-giving, establishing a habit of daily prayer, and making lifelong friends in Christ.

    — Meagan, former camper

"God will not overlook your work and the love you have demonstrated for others for His name."
