• How will we travel to/from camp?
  • We will travel by plane via Southwest and charter bus to and from the Atlanta airport.
  • Please plan to drop your child off at the San Antonio Airport. Transportation to/from the San Antonio airport will NOT be provided.
  • Please do not plan any immediate personal trips the days prior to departing San Antonio and the days after returning in case of any travel delays or complications with Southwest.
• What religious opportunities are offered at a Life Teen camp?
  • Teens can expect daily mass, Adoration, catechetical themed sessions, bible studies, praise and worship, and more. Every morning, LifeTeen offers what they call, "Hour of Mercy" where teens can choose to go to confession before morning session.
• What fun activities can my teen expect?
  • Both camps have a parish obstacle course, messy games, an art barn, high ropes and low ropes, a rock wall, a volleyball court, a basketball court, a field for soccer and football, and gaga ball. 
  • Hidden Lake - One of Hidden Lake's greatest amenities is the lake! 2-3 times throughout the week, the camp will offer lake time, where teens can swim in the designated area, paddleboard, canoe, zip line, water slide or hang out in the art barn, play basketball, gaga ball or hang out.
    • Multiple Life guards are always on duty and everyone - both teens and chaperones - must wear life vests when going in the water. 
  • Covecrest - High schoolers will travel offsite to go white water rafting one day! 
• Does my child need to bring money?
  • Extra money is required for airport food, the Chick-fil-a lunch before arriving at camp (Monday Afternoon), and anything they would like to purchase at the camp store / art barn (the art barn offers many free activities, certain items may cost extra like rosary cord or a t-shirt to tie dye).
• My child doesn't know a lot/any of other youth attending. Will they be with other youth from our parish throughout the week?
  • Many times, we see youth attend without knowing anyone and leave with new friends. Camp is one of our greatest community building opportunities. Our parish will always be in small group discussions together, stay in the same cabins (separated by gender), and while teens can choose where to sit for most meals, our kids usually opt to sit together.
• I have more questions. Will there be a chance where these may be addressed? 
  • Absolutely! A parent meeting will be held in the weeks prior to camp where we will cover all expectations and provide additional information. It will also be a great opportunity for Q&A.
  • Likewise, please feel free to call the Faith Formation Office (210) 497-4145 or contact a coordinator with any questions.
