About the provider

The camp says it has provided a faithfilled, engaging camp experience for almost 80 years. Its history notes that in 1946 Mr. Bert Dingley donated 280 acres of land to the Catholic Archdiocese of Indianapolis to be used as a summer camp. The listed leadership team includes Camp Director Pete Fasano, Facilities Manager Ned Endris, School Year Program Director Ben Vanderzyden, Summer Program Director Stepharoo (Steph Okerson), Assistant Camp Director Lauren Verhiley, and Food Service Manager Steven Drake. Staff members are members of the American Camp Association, and staff must provide references, pass a background check, and complete the Archdiocese of Indianapolis’ Safe Parish Safe Environment child protection program.

What families say

“My child had the best counselor. I wrote him a note because every story my child shared about camp included what an amazing caring counselor he is. My child just had the absolute best time and a huge part of that experience was how kind, thoughtful and fun his counselor was!!” — Parent of a Summer Camper
