Since 2001, Extreme Faith Camp has had a profound impact on thousands of teens across the Archdiocese. A parish run summer camp, EFC focuses on the Sacraments, peer ministry, and of course, a ton of fun in order to help teens develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. This is the most significant part of Youth Ministry at Sacred Heart; it's the "heart" of all the Youth Ministry that happens there.
Here's a description of Extreme Faith Camp from one Sacred Heart teen who has been there the last five years she has been able to attend:
"Even if you feel like you're not religious enough to go to Extreme Faith Camp, that might be the exact reason to go. Extreme Faith Camp can build or start your Faith in God. He's already waiting for you, all you have to say is yes. Extreme Faith Camp is the perfect opportunity to make friends outside your parish and become closer to the friends you already have. In my five years at Extreme Faith Camp I have never felt abandoned or out of place. I have always felt accepted for who I really am there. This camp is for anyone of any background."
We're thrilled to be able to offer Extreme Faith Camp like never before in 2021! We'll be at a new location on the Whitefish Chain of Lakes here in Minnesota chalk full of awesome new opportunities and activities for everyone. Not only that, starting this year EFC will be partnering with Catholic Youth Summer Camp in Ohio! This will allow us help make every teen's experience even more amazing and to help everyone come to know God in an even more profound way.
Your gift to Sacred Heart Church and School's Youth Team will go directly to providing scholarships for Sacred Heart teens so that as many of them as possible can attend this life changing camp.
