Opportunity for Youth to Encounter Jesus in the Mountains

Opportunity for Youth to Encounter Jesus in the Mountains

My name is Jane VandenBoogart and I am a co-founder of CLR Ministries, Inc. along with Jim VandeHey. Our mission at CLR Ministries is to inspire youth in our community by helping them grow in their personal relationship with Jesus. We achieve this mission by bringing a group of youth and young adults (high school and up) to the mountains on an eight-day retreat. Surrounded by the undeniable handiwork of God, the trip is filled with hiking, canoeing, rock climbing, daily Catholic Mass, building Christ-centered friendships, and activities geared toward growing a personal relationship with Jesus.

The 2025 retreat will take place in Wyoming at a camp near the Wyoming Catholic College which our very own Bishop David Ricken helped establish. It’s a beautiful setting in which to encounter Jesus in the mountains.

We would love to have youth/young adults from your parishes join us this year. The dates of our trip will be July 4th through July 11, 2025.

The cost per person is $1,100, which includes transportation, food, lodging, and covers the cost of the activities during the trip. There are incentives to reduce the cost – complete forms, assignments, and training on time. Also fundraising can be done by parishes to support the youth. The deadline for submitting applications is January 15, 2025.
