Mission Camps for Summer 2022 - Registration is open!
| Mission Camp 2022 Permission Slip for Teens |
Catholic Youth Outreach of West Bend is ready for another summer of Mission Camps! We are looking for teens to serve and adult leaders to help mentor them – serve for a shift, a day, or multiple days! We also want to reach out to local residents who need some work done around their homes. Mission Camps offer a local mission experience right here in our own backyard, an opportunity to help those in need in our own community, and a chance to serve with your friends (and make new ones too!).
Dates and times: June 20-24, hosted by St. Mary’s Immaculate Conception; August 8-12, hosted by Holy Angels
Each day has two shifts (Friday is AM only): AM from 9:00am-2:30pm, PM from 3:00pm-8:30pm; each shift includes a meal and time to reflect on your service experience with peers and adult leaders.
Cost: $10/day for one shift, $15/day for both shifts.
Teens and adult leaders needed! Sign up at the links above.
Local residents – if you have a project we could potentially help with, please contact Brian Mase at 262-343-2370.

Mission Trips/Camps Summer 2022 Schedule
June 20-24, 2022: Local Mission Camp #1 (hosted by St. Mary’s)
Each day will have two shifts, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Each shift will include a meal and time to reflect on your service experience with both peers and adult leaders. Every day will be a unique experience, as we will assist local residents with projects at their homes. There is no overnight component to these camps; teens will spend the night in their own homes and are invited to come back the next day to serve.
July 24-29, 2022: Out-of-State - Mission Trip to Cincinnati (Tau House – travel in van group – 20 youth spots)
At the Tau House in Cincinnati, a converted 3-story convent, you will experience living simply and serving others in the greater Cincinnati area. Participants have separate floors for men and women and each floor has several bedrooms of 2-6 beds, fans, and a sink. Community bathrooms are located on each sleeping floor. On the main floor it has a full kitchen, where you will prepare your meals and a dining room where everyone eats in community and a large gathering area for presentations and discussions.
Each day will be full of prayer, service, and reflection. You will serve at a different community organization each day, either serving people directly: day care, soup kitchen, thrift store, and others. Or serving community members indirectly: painting, yardwork, home repair, and others.
A typical day would be: 7am breakfast, morning reflection, depart for work sites at 8:45am, return from sites at 3:30, clean up and free time for those not making dinner, dinner, 7 pm evening activity, 11pm lights out. Most trips decide to go to morning Mass as a group at least once during the week at St. Clements Catholic Church, which is right next door to the Tau House.
