Final Deadline Approaching For July Summer Camp

July 11, 2024

Ceta Canyon—The final deadline for an IDENTITY Catholic Camp and Retreat is Monday, according to Angela Asbill, youth director at St. Ann’s Church, Canyon.

The camp is set for Monday, July 22 through Friday, July 26 at Ceta Canyon Camp and Retreat Center, 37201 FM 1721, between Canyon and Happy. The theme of the summer camp is ABIDE.

“Parishes within the Diocese of Amarillo have joined together to bring IDENTITY Catholic Camps and Retreats to the Texas Panhandle this summer,” she said. “Thanks to generous donors we are thrilled to offer local Catholic Camps/Retreats at a fraction of the cost of other camps and conferences in the United States,” she said.

The camp is open to upcoming eighth grade students through 2024 graduated seniors, according to Asbill. Registration for the camp is $325 per person.

“We invite all parish youth groups as well as individual teens to attend this five-day camp,” said Asbill. “Come experience hiking, swimming, a giant water slide and jumping pillow, sand volleyball, gaga-ball as well as basketball. Spiritual activities include Faith talks, small groups, praise and worship music, adoration, Masses, confession, rosary and much more.

“To our diocesan youth directors, we need to point out that this is an all-inclusive booking. There is and will be no need to worry about planning hotel stops or meals for your group. Ceta Canyon is also located within a 30 minute to two-hour drive from most parishes within the diocese. Space is limited to 250, so please register your group as soon as possible and join us for this great camp.”
