Camp Kateri Tekakwitha

Camp Kateri is a Catholic Summer Camp and Retreat Space. At Camp Kateri, we pursue freedom, joy, and adventure by displaying God's pursuit for us through the Sacraments, Catholic fellowship, and the beauty of creation. Camp offers high adventure, high competition, and transformative faith experiences. This is necessary in displaying to our campers that our faith is not boring, but alive and full of adventure! 

At Camp, we disrupt the campers routine in their lives with unique faith experiences and excitement! When we can relate items of our faith with items of competition, wonder, and adventure, it translates to the campers growing in their faith, and living it out back home in their daily lives. When campers attend Camp Kateri, the spark in their eyes returns and they are filled with life as they return home. We hope everyone who arrives at Camp falls in love with Jesus and desires to be a Saint!

Our mission is growing and the numbers are showing! Because of this...we have more expenses! Last year we had 350 Campers. As of now... we have 550 Registrants for our 2026 summer Camps! We are expecting 200+ new registrations for this summer and that number keeps on growing!! Your support is necessary in helping us continue to grow and thrive in our mission for this summer and years to come! 

Proceeds from this Day of Giving will help support: 

1.) NEW CAMP FARM TRUCK!! Our farm truck's engine went out and we are in need of a truck to haul trees, landscaping, and materials around our 80 acres of camp! (open to donations of farm trucks as well!) 

2.) Funding for our materials and activities held at Camp to keep registration costs affordable! (sports equipment, activity rotations, challenge course, etc.) 

3.) Supporting our missionary formation program for our 18 Missionaries who lead our camp! (training meals, formation materials, equipment)

4.) Funding religious materials for the summer and school year. (hosts, liturgical supplies, priest stipends, chapel improvements)

We want to ask you to join us as a mission partner and donate whatever you are able to Camp Kateri! Our goal we need your help in achieving is  $20,000! Your support in reaching this goal is so important and we are so thankful for any gift you may give! Please consider supporting Camp and it's mission and we are so thankful for your time and support of the Diocese of Lincoln!
