​Camp Tekakwitha

There are two forms of overnight accommodations at Camp Tekakwitha: Bunk Houses and Primitive Camping Field.

Bunk House Accomodations

The bunk houses at Camp Tekakwitha are available to reserve for your next overnight youth retreat. Designed with high school age youth in mind, there are six bunk houses, each with its own private bathrooms and showers. There is room for twenty-six young people in a general bunk room and four adults in a separate bunk room.

Each bunk house has three private bathrooms with a toilet and shower. 

*Each bunk bed is the approximate size of a twin bed. Each bunk bed is equipped with a mattress but there is no other bedding. Campers must bring their own sheets, pillows and blankets. Don't forget towels! Guests are not permitted to sleep directly on a mattress. 
​
*Bunk houses have central heat and AC.

​*Smoking, eating or drinking is prohibited in all bunk houses.

Tent Camping

Scout groups and some church youth groups bring there own tents to setup on our Primitive Camping Field. Groups who tent camp usually bring their own equipment and  prepare their food in the camping area. This is one way to save money.

​Please note, reservations and fee payment in the Tent Camping Field does not include the use of the pool or any building. These must be reserved separately and require additional fees. 

Bathrooms in the bunk houses are limited to those who are registered to stay in the bunk houses. Tent campers are usually limited to using the portable toilets located next to the field.
