Description: Extreme Faith Camp (EFC) is a premier high-adventure camp packed with incredible activities: high ropes, laser tag, zip lines, climbing walls, and more! Led by parishes from the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis, Extreme Faith Camp guarantees that summer camp is not just a mountaintop faith experience but one that builds lifelong foundations of faith. Our faith programming is rooted in the sacramental life of the Catholic Church, and our mission is anything but boring. This summer, Extreme Faith Camp will be held at Trinity Woods Camp and Retreat Center in Trego, Wisconsin.

Because Extreme Fatih Camp is planned with our overall youth ministry program in mind, we highly recommend getting involved in Guardian Angels' youth ministry events if you sign up for camp. Get to know your camp community in the months ahead! 

Contact Lukas or Andy with any questions or for more information!

July 12-17, 2026 (2027 Dates coming soon!)

 

A Note from Lukas on 2026:

Totus Tuus was once again a wonderful week at Guardian Angels. This year featured special saints such as St. Benedict, St. Catherine of Siena, and St. John Paul II! Our elementary program also dove into the Ten Commandments and the Luminous Mysteries of the Rosary.

In addition to this, we saw the largest and most elaborate Hula Hoop Show to date! Starting almost three years ago, a tradition began when some of the kids spent each recess creating and rehearsing a hula hoop show that they performed at the end of the week.  Each year they come back and each year it gets bigger and better!  We can’t wait to see what next year has to offer! 

Our evening program continues to grow. This was the largest group we have  had with over 20 youth joining the missionaries each evening for meals, games, talks and small groups. It has been beautiful to watch this program grow, especially as now many of our youth who attended  the daytime program are now old enough to join us in the evenings.

Thank you again for all who helped make Totus Tuus possible! This program is not possible without the incredible support of our volunteers and those who supplied meals. We can’t wait for next year!

Program Description: Totus Tuus (Latin for “Totally Yours”) is a summer Catholic youth program dedicated to sharing the Gospel and promoting the Catholic faith through catechesis, evangelization, Christian witness, and Eucharistic worship. The goal of Totus Tuus is to help young people grow in the understanding of, and strengthen their faith in Jesus Christ. 

This program is a fun and energetic parish-based summer catechetical program for grade school children and junior and senior high school youth. Totus Tuus is run by four college-age missionaries (usually one is a seminarian) who are trained and sent out to spread the Good News in our Archdiocese. They will run two separate programs. One for Grade School (entering 1st-6th) and one for Junior/Senior High School (entering 7th-12th)

If you are interested in hosting the missionary men or women, please contact Lukas Steffensmeier –  Open to all youth parishioners and non-parishioners. Contact Lukas with any questions.
