“Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men! Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks.”
We are pleased to announce that Camp
Solanus will be August 10-15th 2025, at CYO Camp Hamilton!
CAMP SOLANUS
Catholic Camp for middle school boys entering 7th, 8th, and 9th grade in fall 2025.
August 10-15th, 2025 at CYO Camp Hamilton
25405 Lake Fontal Rd, Monroe, WA 98272
A life of Discipleship, Friendship, and Leadership awaits….
Discipleship
At Camp Solanus, we are rooted in Prayer, and strive first and foremost to become Saints. We take Bl. Solanus Casey as our patron, who gave his life as an example of how to Love God in the small everyday moments of life.
Friendship
Throughout the week we’ll be having lots of fun with daily sports, games, and activities! When you first come to Camp you will be placed in a squad, and throughout the week you’ll grow closer as brothers on this journey together.
Leadership
We want to challenge you, whether you think you’re the next president or you find it hard to speak up, we’re all called to be leaders in different ways through our life. At Camp Solanus, you’ll learn what it means to be a leader, and be pushed just a bit further as one yourself.
***Our camp registration software is used usually for sports teams, so the program sometimes uses "Player" to refer to your son instead of "Camper".***
Campers are current middle school aged boys entering 7th, 8th, 9th grade in the fall of 2025.

We named camp after Blessed Solanus Casey for a couple of reasons:
1) Bl. Solanus serves as an example to all men of how to live Authentic lives as Catholic men, with Humility, Charity, and Strength.
2) The origin of this camp was inspired by Pine Hills Camp, run in Ann Arbor, Michigan, by Renewal Ministries. Blessed Solanus ministered and was buried in Detroit. He is beloved in the southeast Michigan area. We found it to be a fitting homage to these roots for us to name camp after him!
