Camp Veritas is a camp for Catholic youth (Grades 7-12), held from August 15-21, 2010 at Camp Lakota in the foothills of the Catskills, NY.

Camp Veritas was founded in 2008 by Danbury resident Ryan Young.  After two very successful years and great reviews, the camp's guest list has grown to over 100 youth.  They are seeking VIRTUS-certified young adults to serve as camp counselors during their week-long event in August.  Whether you can serve for the full week, or even just a day or two, "veteran" Veritas counselors promise an unforgettably rewarding and fun* experience.

The objective of the camp is to provide an exciting and relevant foundation of our Catholic faith to the youth as their critical transformation into adulthood begins.   This life-changing journey will lead the participants to experience the love of Christ, challenging each camper to ask the question: Jesus Christ, do I love You?  Through this Catholic experience, our youth will grow in Wisdom and Courage, building the Catholic leaders of tomorrow.

Camp Veritas will provide a journey to Christ and a deeper understanding of the Catholic faith through an intense fellowship immersion with other youth.  Daytime activities will focus on fun team-building activities such as swimming, volleyball, soccer, softball, basketball, boating, roller hockey, and go-carts.  Evening activities will include focused spiritual instruction and discussion, energetic music for praise and worship, daily Mass, testimonies, and silent adoration. The spiritual support team includes the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, the Sisters of Life, and Priests from the Archdiocese.

Please contact Ryan Young at ryan1@campveritas*com or (845) 266-5784 (evenings) if you have questions or would like to volunteer as a counselor.
