St. Thomas Aquinas Summer Camp's Mission
The Saint Thomas Aquinas Summer Camp is centered around religion and sports. Sports, properly directed, develops character, makes a man courageous, a loser generous, and a victor gracious. With these ideals, sports help to glorify God. Sports can never be an end in itself, but must help boys and girls to save their souls. Softness is dispelled and manly virtues are instilled in youth by sports.
There is a tremendous amount of good done at camp each year by the counselors, staff, Sisters, and Priests. I never had camp as a child, but I want to see no child deprived of this privilege; of this chance to have fun; of the opportunity to be fortified in the Catholic Faith.

Seek solace away from busy city life and enjoy some quiet time in God's creation.
Retreat from the outside world and remember why we are all here; to give honor and glory to God.
Have fun and excitement participating in a wide array of sports. There is something for everyone!
“I have seen young men and women grow in love, strength and conviction to their religion."
"Camp has, for several years now, been the high point of the summer, for my children. Good wholesome fun, combined with serious attention to daily religious devotions, have helped to cement the foundations of their faith."
“As parents, we may not always see the results of our efforts. During camp, I believe the seeds of Providence are planted by our Priests, Sisters and other counselors to inspire our sons and daughters and help them grow into men and women of God. ”
