Mary’s Pro-Life Bootcamp
Mary’s Pro-Life Bootcamp is a Pro-Life leadership training retreat for youth ages 14-17. The dates this year are Jun 25-29. We have some wonderful speakers, covering a wide range of topics including fetal development, pain, and abortion; human dignity; euthanasia; adoption; pro-life apologetics; and more. One speaker is coming all the way from Scotland!
The camp also includes daily Mass and Rosary; an introduction to the Liturgy of the Hours (Morning and Evening prayer every day); Confession and Adoration; a live ultrasound; movie night; a service day; and a family picnic. All meals (and snacks) are provided, and there is lots of fun and games mixed in!
We also have a day-camp for middle schoolers ages 11-13 called Bootcamp JR., which will be held July 10th-11th. Bootcamp JR. introduces kids to pro-life topics and apologetics and helps them learn about the various ways they can get involved through prayer and service. Lunch, snacks, and plenty of fun are included each day.
We are actively seeking Virtus-trained adult volunteers to assist in various roles during the camp. We try to arrange the events/talks so that volunteers can participate as well. Many volunteers report learning as much as the kids did!
