What is it?
CAMP CRUX is a Catholic adventure camp for middle school boys and girls to encounter God through the beauty of the outdoors. CAMP CRUX provides young people the opportunity to develop their relationship with Jesus Christ and His Church.

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. Your child will have plenty of opportunities for outdoor adventures, meeting new friends, playing sports, and coming to know God through his created world. Each day consists of different group activities, adventures, Mass, adoration, competitions and much more. 

Camp Structure
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 cannot promise that certain campers will automatically be assigned to their "friend groups."
