Breakfast is usually around 8 am. This is followed by a personal testimony. There are sports and activities from about 10 am – 3 pm. There is an afternoon free-time to rest and shower. In the evening is Mass, Adoration, inspiring talks, and camp-wide free-time. Night Prayers with Rosary precede Lights out at 11 pm.

At Clongowes the sports and activities include swimming, football, frisbee, volleyball, Gaelic football, dodgeball. We also usually organize a pilgrimage/hike day during the week. See our US website to see what their camps offer.

Camp Veritas joyfully and faithfully promotes all the teachings of the Catholic Church. The spiritual activities (Mass, adoration, etc) are the highlights of each day. We have been blessed to have some non-Catholic campers and volunteers attend in order to sincerely and respectfully learn more about the faith. They have since become Catholics! If your child is not Catholic, please e-mail the enrollment coordinator. We want to make sure that their counselor knows ahead of time and can guide them as necessary.

Welcome! We have many first-time campers every year. There will be lots of other campers going through the same experience as your child. Reassure them that they’re not alone! Your child will make lots of friends throughout the week. If it helps put them at ease, encourage your child’s friend from home to attend camp (make sure to add them as a roommate request) or perhaps send a volunteer (older sibling, grandparent, etc) with your camper. It can be incredibly reassuring to have a familiar face around!

Clongowes can accommodate most dietary restrictions. Be sure to include all allergies in your child's health form in the application as that is what we provide to the kitchen for them to prepare.

Please see the answer regarding dietary restrictions. We can take basic precautions, notify the counselors, etc. However, for campers with severe food allergies, we cannot guarentee a 100% allergen-free environment.

Campers may only carry inhalers, epipens, and insulin with the parent's permission. All other medications must be entrusted to the camp nurse (including Tylenol, Advil, Claritin, etc.). The camp team is alerted to each campers medications when the health history form is completed.

If you have a family member who is a wheelchair user and interested in volunteering or joining us for the closing Mass, please contact the parent liaison provided in your parent email. We’d be glad to forward any site-specific details.

Camp Veritas is run entirely by volunteers and rents all our of facilities. We do not offer tours during the off-season. Tours are available on the first day Camp Veritas begins (before orientation).

Yes! As we get closer to the date, you’ll receive an e-mail with your week’s parent liaison. Contact them and they can forward the best mailing address.
