Important General Information

Groups who wish to use any facility or part of Camp Tekakwitha must have a reservation. Casual visits are not possible. Please contact us if you would like to visit the property.

*Camp Tekakwitha is not available for weddings (indoor or outdoor).

*Rental fees quoted do not include setup or cleanup. Groups are responsible for their own setup and must return facilities to the condition found upon arrival. Please do all you can to minimize the amount trash your group generates.

*During your rental period your group not only has access to the building rented but the grounds as well. The camp is quite primitive, with lots of animals and a diversity of plant life. You may enjoy wandering around the lake or just sitting on a bench to watch our birds and waterfowl. If you are on the property during warm months you will need to be on the lookout for snakes.

St. Kateri Chapel is our beautiful indoor chapel. Chapel availability depends on special arrangements made in advance. It is not for rent and Schwarzhoff Hall rental does not automatically include its use.

St. Kateri Chapel's primary function is as a place of Catholic Worship.  It is not to be used as a meeting or dining room. A Catholic group planning to use the chapel for Mass must arrange for a priest 

The Outdoor Chapel is available to all groups during their reservation period. If more than one group is on the property, we will work out a sharing plan

Lake Kateri
A small lake for the use of all registered guests. We have three canoes with paddles and life jackets. We no longer have any other water craft. The peddle boats we had last year have been returned to the folks who loaned them to us. 
Fishing is permitted but we request "catch and release." 

Terms & Conditions

Cleanup: Use of any part of the camp is dependent on your group leaving the facility as clean as it was when you arrived. We are trying to avoid the need to hire cleaning staff. We will provide the supplies and equipment needed to clean. An additional charge will be added to your bill if we must clean after your group leaves. Clean-up services at Camp Tekakwitha are quite expensive – expect cleanup charges to be very large. Tell us during the reservation process if you know you cannot do cleanup and we will try to negotiate a reasonable fee

​Campers must remove their trash from the property upon departure.

Damage: Normal wear and tear is acceptable. Accidental or intentional damage to facilities or property will be billed to the parish or school.

Any individual or group acting in a disruptive or disrespectful manner will be removed from the property and any fees paid will be forfeited

Decision to remove an individual (adult or youth) or group is at the sole discretion of the camp manager

Please be aware other groups may be on the property at the same time as yours

All visitors are to be respectful of others while at Camp Tekakwitha. Proselytizing individuals or groups is not permitted 
 
Early access for setup may be possible – By special arrangement only
