What is Quo Vadis Camp? 5 days and 4 nights at Mount St. Mary's Seminary, for high school boys who want to gain tools for living and praying to lay a solid foundation for their future. Quo Vadis Camp is staffed by diocesan seminarians and priests.
Mornings at camp focus on the spiritual, including Mass and talks, and afternoons are all about sports and games; evening events are a mix. One day there's a pilgrimage to the Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes.

Why? Read some comments from campers on what they most enjoyed:
“I had a great time, better than I could have expected. The balance between prayer and fun worked well, and I've gained countless habits to apply to my prayer and discernment. I look forward to the journey ahead.”
“Highlights: freedom from technology; brotherhood; daily Mass and adoration; all the prayer opportunities.”
“Being with the seminarians was really cool. Seeing how they are trying to grow in holiness and pursuing their vocation while still being cools guys who like sports and stuff is inspiring.”
“The chance to pray and meditation was unlike and other time or retreat I've ever been to! The seminarians and priests were all amazing!”
“Fraternity, prayer/adoration, having seminarians everywhere to talk to.”
“I enjoyed the brotherhood and prayer.”
We are so fortunate to have had such great demand for this camp, though we are sorry it has meant that we don’t have room for everyone who wants to attend. These camps are an opportunity for young people to grow spiritually and learn about vocations, but they are not the only means. If you are interested in exploring your vocation, please contact the Office of Vocations to schedule a meeting with Fr. Isenberg. Additionally, there are other Quo Vadis events during the school year that will give you this opportunity to interact with priests and seminarians and grow in holiness.
