The high adventure gives young people a chance to challenge themselves physically and mentally while being encouraged by their fellow campers. The most important piece of Adventure Camp is the young people growing more deeply with their relationship with Christ and connecting it to every aspect of their lives.

Growing with Christ 

TO REGISTER

Each person who registers, they will be required to pay a non-refundable deposit of $100 at the time of registration. We will then send an invoice to your parish/school to pay the remaining funds to our office with one check.

Please be sure that everyone registering with your parish/school registers under the name of your parish/school. So, if you are inviting people from other parish/schools to join your group, please ask them to mark on the form that they belong to your parish/school. Also, please ask parents who are registering their child for a new Argenta account to register the account under their child’s name and birthday.

 

* Note: Crosswoods Camp has their own medical release form that must be filled out by each minor camper’s parent, and adult campers prior to arriving at camp. These forms must be directly turned in to the Crosswoods Camp staff upon arrival. We do NOT need a copy of the Crosswoods forms for our office.

 

Chaperone Guidelines, Policies and Code of Conduct

Each parish/school must have 1 chaperone for every 7 youths attending. These chaperones MUST be age 21 or older AND be current in their Diocese of La Crosse Background Check and Safe Environment Training. Please do not wait until the week before the event to complete these steps as sometimes results could take days to come back to us.

Packing List & Expectations

Additional Info:

  • Are there any discounts? Clergy and Religious stay free!!! The presence of priests and religious is so important to our young people that the camp director has agreed not to charge anything for them. They’re welcome to be there the whole week or even just part of a day.
  • What are the accommodations? Everyone stays in cabins. They are very well maintained and most have 8 beds (bunks). Chaperones stay with other chaperones in cabins. The beds have mattresses and everyone needs to bring along a sleeping bag and pillow. A bathhouse is located close to each cabin allowing easy access to showers and restrooms.
  • What are the safety precautions? CrossWoods staff are all trained in leading young people in the designated high adventure activities (high & low ropes, rappelling, climbing, canoeing, sea kayaking, biking). The staff are mostly college students with a love for Christ and the outdoors.
  • What is involved in the programming? For our week of camp, the Diocese has reserved the entire camp allowing us to conduct the teaching aspects to ensure that it is fully Catholic. Programming will be done by youth ministry leaders (parish youth ministers, diocesan directors, religious clergy) from the Diocese. All campers are part of a small group in which they discuss and reflect on these teachings.
  • What about prayer and the Sacraments? A chapel with the Blessed Sacrament present provides campers with a great place for prayer and reflection during the week. There will be at least one priest at the camp at all times. This allows us to have daily Mass, Confessions throughout the week, and a special time of Adoration on Thursday night. There will also be Morning Prayer, Holy Hour (optional, but highly encouraged & well attended), & Night
