About

• Schedule: Camp Veritas is a one week sleep away camp for teens entering 7th–12th grade (ages 12–18).
• Price: New York Camp Lakota: August 9th–15th (7th–9th graders only) $550/camper; $500 when paid in full by March 1st.
Camp Veritas was founded in 2008 and 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. 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, and the Franciscan Sisters of the Renewal as well as other religious orders. Every person involved with Camp Veritas is entirely volunteer, and every adult volunteer submits to a background check and submits a Safe Environment Training Certificate from an approved program. Camp Veritas volunteer policies are modeled after national standards for Safe Environment procedures, both ecclesial and secular.
Camp Veritas has been approved by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops for listing in the Official Catholic Directory, also known as the Kenedy Directory, and is recognized by the IRS as a non-profit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. The camp was featured on EWTN's “Living Divine Mercy” program. One testimonial states that three students who attended Camp Veritas “absolutely loved it and came home flying and filled with the Spirit – ready for Confirmation.” Another testimonial says, “My daughter is still on fire and filled with love for Christ. Thank you.” A further testimonial notes that daughters who attended “are still on Cloud 9 and have declared their desire to return next year if they can” and that “they are all singing and won’t stop talking about the experience.” The 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) contact Philomena Prendergast.
