We are going to camp! Summer of 2026 Life Teen at St. Michael's will be taking a group of teens to the new Life Teen Summer Camp, Camp Cana, in St. Genevieve, MO. Located just outside of St. Louis, Missouri, this stunning property – a former vineyard and winery – will become a sacred space for teenagers from across the Midwest and beyond to experience a life-changing encounter with Christ.
The goal of this trip was to offer an additional opportunity this summer for our teens to be immersed in community and in a space where they can continue to grow in their walk with Christ. Whether that means you can't make it to Steubenville or you are going for it all and want to do both, we hope that this week away continues to help our community grow together and strive for holiness.
You can fill out registration below. Spots are limited and deposits are due so if you think the Lord is calling you to spend a week with Him and this community, don't hesitate!
We will leave St. Michael's on the morning of the 15th. We will stop briefly for lunch before arriving at camp in the early afternoon. We will then return on Saturday arriving back at St. Michael's Saturday evening.
What? There will be Low Ropes and High Ropes courses, water activities, pool, lake with a blob and a water trampoline, lots and lots of paintball, pickleball, basketball, messy games, ping pong, art barn, and more!! Each day there will be time of Mass, prayer, session, and lots of organized free time (think Monday of Sky Ranch but every day)! It will be a blast!
Who? All high school students! Rising freshman through current seniors.

Why?
"This youth group has radically changed my life and continues to do so now in my role as youth minister. When I was in youth group at SMA as a teen, I had the opportunity to go on 16 trips. Going to a Life Teen camp was the one that had the most impact on me. On this trip I gained friendships that to this day are my closest ones from high school, a fire for the Lord that never dimmed out, and incredible memories. Hint: you can find me in some of the pictures in the graphic above!"
