Summer Programs

Playing in Camp's Harrison Creek is a favorite activity among campers (and staff) at Camp Gray.

Summer Camp at Camp Gray

There are several program options at Camp Gray, so our hope is that the following will be helpful in determining which will be the best fit for your camper.  A few tips:  There is a natural progression of traditional programs which progress from 2nd – 12th grade: Settlers, Trailblazers, Pathfinders, Explorers, & Leaders in Training.  In addition to these programs, we have three specialty programs:  Adventure, Ranch, and Voyageur. Please call us – (608) 356-8200 – if you have any questions.

Note:  All grades reflect the grade which camper will be entering in the fall following summer camp.

Traditional Programs:

Settlers (grades 2-5)
As a settler camper, you’ll learn the ropes of being a camper at Camp Gray. You’ll have the opportunity to try many of our program areas, learn some fun and goofy songs, experience the Cassidy Games, and make tons of new friends!  For more a more detailed explanation, Click Here.

Trailblazers (grades 6-8)
The trailblazer program is much like the settler program, except that campers have the opportunity to experience sweet new program areas (mountain biking, rock climbing, etc.), and have a later bedtime!  For more a more detailed explanation, Click Here.

Pathfinders (grades 8-10)
The Pathfinder schedule is slightly different from the Trailblazer program, as you’ll experience community team building, leadership, and service in the mornings. Your afternoons and evenings will be spent taking part in our traditional camp activities like swimming, C.T.F., Cassidy Games, and a beach party!   For more a more detailed explanation, Click Here.

Explorers (grades 10-12)
The Explorer Village – a mysterious area of Camp Gray only accessible for Explorers – is awaiting your stay. Be a part of a fun and faith-filled high school aged community; prepare your meals as a group; explore areas of camp that you’ve never seen; and experience the joy of the ’Vil.   For more a more detailed explanation, Click Here.

Leaders-in-Training (12-13)
The Leader-in-Training program is a 3-week leadership development program that will challenge your socks off.  As a LIT you’ll learn what it takes to be a great leader and you’ll grow in knowledge of the Catholic faith.  Call or e-mail camp for a special LIT application.  For more a more detailed explanation, Click Here.

Specialty Programs:

Ranch (grades 7-11)
Do you love horses?!  As a rancher, you’ll spend the entirety of each morning at the stables learning to care for and ride a horse. Your afternoons and evenings will be back on main camp… meaning you won’t miss any exciting main camp activities!  For more a more detailed explanation, Click Here.

Adventure (grades 7-9)
As an Adventure camper, you’ll experience unique adventures (like rappelling down the open side of the Camp Gray rock wall), stay in rustic cabins, make close friends, and go off camp for an adventure or two!  For more a more detailed explanation, Click Here.

Voyageurs (grades 10-12)
Whether on our hiking or canoeing trip, as a Voyageur, you’ll be challenged physically, but you’ll be living simply (camping, cooking, etc.), forming a tight group, and experiencing the beauty of God’s creation!  For more a more detailed explanation, Click Here.
