Update (May 15, 2020)

Dear Friends,
It is with deep sadness that we are having to cancel CAMP CRUX this summer. We have taken measures to try to make it possible, but the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted our ability to host camp this summer. 

Thank you for your patience and understanding over the last several weeks as we discerned our summer programming. Please know that this is a difficult decision for us to make as we look forward to our summer camps with our young campers. 

We are excited to take this summer and continue our planning for CAMP CRUX 2021! Stay tuned! 

God bless you and your families. Stay healthy, happy, and holy. 

~The CAMP CRUX Team


NOTICE: The COVID-19 pandemic has created a lot of uncertainty into the future. We are unsure whether restrictions will prevent CAMP CRUX from taking place this summer. As of now, we are continuing to prepare with high hopes of CAMP CRUX being held this summer. All COVID-19 updates with regards to CAMP CRUX will be posted on this website. Thank you for your support and understanding!

CAMP CRUX is a 3 day overnight camp located at Oakbrook Valley in Russiaville, IN. Middle school boys and girls entering 6th, 7th, and 8th grade are welcome to register for CAMP CRUX.

Each day consists of different group activities, adventures, Mass, adoration, competitions and much more.

Your sons and daughters will be placed into small groups named after a saint. The small groups for middle schools girls will be led by young adult women. The small groups for middle school boys will be led by seminarians and young adult men.
