About
Camp Stella Maris is a traditionally overnight summer camp that also offers Day Camp and Teen Programs. The camp offers overnight, day, and family camp, as well as year-round programming including fall, winter, and spring options. It also provides team-building programs and runs LIT (Leader in Training) and CIT programs, along with the ABLE (Adventure Based Learning Experience) program.
• Ages: 5–17 years old
Camp Stella Maris has been operating for 100 years and was founded in 1926 by Seminarians Gerald Lambert and Eugene Hudson. It follows the Catholic faith, is self-governing and self-supporting, and campers attend a kid-friendly Catholic Mass two times each week. Its spiritual program is non-conversional, and campers are not required to be Catholic. The camp is accredited by the American Camping Association. Camp Stella Maris has an inclusivity statement welcoming all persons regardless of race, color, sex, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability (assuming the disability permits safe participation in the CSM program), faith or religion, cultural observance, national or ethnic origin, family status, appearance, body type/size, educational background, and other categories. It has a discrimination and bullying policy stating that harassment and behaviors that create a physically or emotionally unsafe environment will not be tolerated and may result in dismissal without refund on a first offense if especially egregious, and an equity statement that prioritizes increased access for groups historically underrepresented at camp. All sessions became co-ed in 1988, the LIT Program began in 1984, the Day Camp program began in 1991, and the ABLE program began in 1996. Camp Stella Maris also offers year-round programming, including family camp, adult getaways, and programs for children of all ages, and provides facility rentals suitable for youth groups, retreats, corporate events and conferences, family celebrations, and scout troops. Its mission statement says that, built on a foundation of faith and a century of tradition, Camp Stella Maris provides memorable experiences within its community and does this by inspiring positive growth and empowering people of all ages. Camper parents report that a friend recommended the camp and their children have been going since, and that they value time away from home, establishing new relationships, being in different environments, and pushing limits, and another parent notes that their child enjoys being free from social media and cell phone use during a summer week at camp.
