Providing leadership development, an opportunity for spiritual growth, fun and excitement through a traditional camping program



Camp St. Michael is an outdoor ministry of the Catholic Diocese of Santa Rosa. Bringing together young people and families from throughout Northern California, Camp St. Michael offers a unique opportunity for those who enjoy the outdoors. Established in 1963, Camp St. Michael has enjoyed a long tradition of quality adventure programming.



Campers experience an environment in which Christian values come alive in a positive, natural and fun-filled way. There are no formal religion classes; however, the closeness to nature and a program designed specifically to integrate Christian values into everyday activities support the spiritual growth and maturity of the campers. To enhance the Christian experience, the campers are involved in the planning, preparation and leadership of the morning prayers as well as Sunday Mass. Each evening in their family groups they spend time reflecting on the day’s challenges, affirming one another for their accomplishments and closing the day in prayer.
