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. The campers will be randomly assigned to their respective small groups for the good of the camp. We understand that overnight camps can be challenging for campers to be away from home. We want to create an atmosphere that they can thrive and make friends with other campers. We cannot make any promises that campers will automatically be assigned to their friend groups, but will try to take this into consideration.

The lodging for campers consists of cabins and Regatta canvas bell tents. All lodging assignments for campers is determined randomly each year by the Camp Crux staff. Showerhouse facilities are available and designated for adults and campers separately.
