IDENTITY Summer Camp/Retreat

Ceta Canyon—Parishes within the Diocese of Amarillo have once again joined together to bring IDENTITY Catholic Camps and Retreats to the Texas Panhandle this summer, according to Angela Asbill, youth director at St. Ann’s Church, Canyon.
 
“Thanks to generous donors we are thrilled to offer local Catholic Camps/Retreats at a fraction of the cost of other camps and conferences in the United States,” she said.
 
The IDENTITY camp will be offered Monday, July 21 through Friday, July 25 at Ceta Canyon Camp and Retreat Center, 37201 FM1721, between Canyon and Happy. The theme of the summer camp is SANCTUS, and will be focused on the holiness of our Catholic Faith.
 
The camp is open to upcoming eighth grade students through 2025 graduated seniors, according to Asbill. Early bird registration is $300 per person, if completed by Sunday, June 1, or $325 per person after June 1. The deadline to register for the camp is Monday, July 7.
 
“We invite all parish youth groups as well as individual teens to attend this five-day camp,” said Asbill. “Come experience hiking, swimming, a giant water slide and jumping pillow, sand volleyball, gaga-ball as well as basketball. Spiritual activities include Faith talks, small groups, praise and worship music, adoration, Masses, confession, rosary and much more.
 
“We are excited to welcome Father Shane Wieck back this year as our camp priest. He will be joined by several other diocesan priests and Women Religious, who will be serving in different capacities.
 
“Ceta Canyon is also located within a 30-minute to two-hour drive from most parishes within the diocese. Space is limited to 150, so please register your group as soon as possible and join us for this amazing opportunity.”
