Camp Sancta Maria’ Two-Week Camp

Since 1933, CSM has been offering boys aged 8-16 from across Michigan and beyond the chance to spend two-weeks in the heart of beautiful Northern Michigan. CSM has become a family tradition passed down from generation to generation. Our aim is to introduce campers to new friends, new activities and provide an opportunity for spiritual formation and personal growth through a packed and exciting daily schedule of trips, sports, horseback-riding, waterfront activities, arts and crafts, high and low ropes courses and much more. See our ‘Camp Programs’ page to learn about and view our programs.

The day at camp is set within the Catholic framework of a daily Mass and prayer service, but each year we welcome campers from all faiths.
A two-week session at CSM has proven time and again to help build confidence and awareness that campers take home and to school.
Spending two-weeks living, playing and praying with friends made on the basketball court or in the mess hall creates a bond that can last a lifetime. These friendships endure, even strengthen, during a winter at homes perhaps miles apart and are renewed year after year as campers grow together in their summer home, here among the nature and splendor of our 96 wooded acres.

Camp Sancta Maria Mini Camp

In 2002, CSM began offering one-week camping sessions. There are a number of Mini-camps to choses from spread throughout the summer, but all provide the same traditional CSM programs and experience as our two-week sessions. Mini-camps are open to campers aged 8-16 and include our staple trip to historic Mackinac Island, horseback riding and much more.

Mini-camps have proven popular with families wishing to introduce their sons to camp for the first time and also with campers who have a busy summer schedule and only have a week available to go to camp.
