    • Registration & Cost
      registration opens february 1, 2025

      Registration is $175 per camper and includes lodging, meals and access to all activities. Campers will be responsible for bringing their own sleeping bag, pillow, toiletries, etc. A packing list will be provided in late spring for registered campers.

    What is it?
    • 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 4 day overnight camp located at The 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 opportunites 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.




    Where is it?
    • The Valley

      The Valley is an incredible 60 acre facility nestled along the Wildcat Creek just outside of Kokomo, IN. Camp Crux has found its home on this amazing property for over 10 years! 



    Camp Structure
    • 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 understand that overnight camps can be challenging for campers to be away from home. We want to create an atmosphere that they can thrive and make friends with other campers. We cannot make any promises that campers will automatically be assigned to their friend groups, but will try to take this into consideration.



    Accommodations
    • Accommodations

      The lodging for campers consists of cabins and Regatta canvas bell tents. All lodging assignments for campers is determined randomly each year by the Camp Crux staff. Showerhouse facilities are available and designated for adults and campers separately. 



    Scholarships
    • Scholarships

      Scholarships may be requested before submitting payment for your camper. A family's financial situation will never hinder a camper from attending Camp Crux. Please contact Fr. Derek Aaron at [email protected]
