Camp Veritas is a non-profit organization incorporated in the State of New York and organized exclusively for the purpose of inspiring and forming young Catholic teens into disciples of Jesus Christ. It is a Catholic summer camp for teens ages 12–18 with a primary focus on Eucharistic-centered worship and evangelization, full immersion in the Catholic faith through sacraments and activities, and orthodox teaching in line with the Catechism of the Catholic Church and teachings of the Magisterium. The structured spiritual program is led by priests from the Archdiocese of New York and surrounding dioceses and is supported by the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, the Sisters of Life, the Franciscan Sisters of the Renewal, and other religious orders, and every person involved with Camp Veritas is entirely a volunteer.
Camp Veritas volunteer policies are modeled after national standards for Safe Environment procedures, both ecclesial and secular, and every adult volunteer submits to a background check and submits a Safe Environment Training Certificate from an approved program. Camp Veritas has been approved by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops for listing in the Official Catholic Directory (the Kenedy Directory) and is recognized by the IRS as a non-profit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. Camp Veritas was founded in 2008 by Ryan and Elizabeth Young, and its leadership team includes Chief Executive Officer Ryan Young, Chief Operating Officer Elizabeth Young, Parish Groups Coordinator Collette Geraghty, Enrollment Coordinator and Executive Assistant Maggie Bradley, New York Enrollment Assistant Hannah McClonologue, Maryland Liaison Rachel Watkins, Florida Liaison Katie Eads, Volunteer Coordinator Catherine Schembri, Background Check & Safe Environment Coordinator Christie Sherwood, and Garda Vetting and TUSLA Training (Ireland) Coordinator Philomena Prendergast.
Camp Veritas was founded in 2008 and has been featured on EWTN's “Living Divine Mercy” program. Parent and participant feedback includes comments such as teens returning “filled with the Spirit – ready for Confirmation,” a daughter “still on fire and filled with love for Christ,” and campers “on Cloud 9” who “won’t stop talking about the experience” and want to return. A CAMPanion app for iPhone and Android is available for Camp Veritas.
