I. What is the Brothers of St John Boys’ Camp?

The Boys’ Camp is a Catholic camp geared to the adventurous spirit of a boy. The boys will camp on the grounds of the Brothers of St. John in Princeville, Illinois.

The boys will be kept physically active with hiking, games, a treasure hunt, and more.

Of course, the summit of the experience will be the Holy Eucharist. The boys will be kept spiritually active with daily Mass, Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, and daily teachings by the Brothers of St. John. Thus, it is important that your sons WANT to come!

The cost is $150.00 per boy, which includes food. In case of financial difficulty, please do not hesitate to contact to Br Benedict-Tarcisius : knightsofstjn@gmail.com 309 210 6164
