Our Mission

The Mission of Camp Ondessonk is to provide an environment that inspires physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual growth for individuals and groups through the appreciation and stewardship of nature.

Our Vision

The Vision of Camp Ondessonk, a camp founded on the Catholic Faith, is to be the world’s best youth camp. Inspired by positive role models, campers will experience the wonders of God’s creation through adventurous, challenging activities in a unique, rustic environment.

Mini Camp

Ages: 8 & 9 years olds
Date: Mini-Camp 1 - June 6-9, 2012; Mini-Camp 2 - July 1-4, 2012
Cost: $275/$255/$235 (entire balance due at registration)

Mini Camp is a special three day, three night session for younger children.  It is the perfect way to give campers an introduction to the Camp Ondessonk tradition of rustic, nature based camping in the Shawnee National Forest.

The Mini Camp schedule includes horseback instruction and riding, handicrafts, boating, swimming, archery, evening campfires, skits, and lots of singing.  All activities are modified to best serve the mini camp age group.  With one Ondessonk counselor for every three or four campers, mini campers receive nearly constant guidance and companionship from our caring staff.  Incidentally, many of our staff members were once mini campers.
