WHY GO?

  • meet other young Catholics from across Michigan and build friendships
  • experience a weekend-long pilgrimage and be led by His light for your path
  • make room for a personal encounter with Jesus and grow in your faith
  • experience the beauty of northern Michigan in the summer
  • have an outdoor adventure hiking along a lake and through the woods, rafting down the Sturgeon River, camping, bonfires, and swimming in Lake Huron
  • pray at the Shrine of the Cross in the Woods
  • return refreshed and empowered by the Spirit

 

THE OPPORTUNITY:

  • Two nights of camping at Cheboygan State Park on Lake Huron with meals for all of Saturday and breakfast Sunday.
  • Arrive Friday evening, July 26, when you can to setup your tents (dinner on your own). We’ll begin as a group about 7:45pm but it’s ok if you cannot arrive until later.
  • We will begin Saturday with about a 10-mile hike on the North Central Trail culminating with a Eucharistic procession to the Shrine of the Cross in the Woods, followed by 2 hours of rafting on the Sturgeon River then returning to camp for dinner.
  • We will have mass both mornings and an overall pilgrimage experience with the opportunity to meet new friends while growing closer to God.
