Ways to Get Involved

​

Whether you’re a former counselor, teacher, camp parent, or long-time friend of CYO Camp and Caritas Creek— this is your moment to come together with the CYO Camp and Caritas Creek community and celebrate 50 incredible years of outdoor education impact.

​

Join us for this special anniversary Gala and help fund the next generation of campers through camperships — tuition scholarships that ensure every child has the chance to experience nature, community, and growth.

​

Here’s how you can be part of it:

  • Buy a Ticket – Join us on October 11 at Kohl Mansion for a night of joy, connection, and shared purpose.
     

  • Reserve a Table – Rally your camp crew and share a table with your lifelong friends.
     

  • Become a Sponsor – Sponsorships help offset event costs so more proceeds go straight to our scholarship & campership fund.

​

  • Become a Caritas Partner School -- Official partner schools contribute to the event costs and set up. 
     

  • Donate to the Auction – Have a great travel stay, in kind gift, ticketed experience to contribute? Your offer fuels our fundraising.
     

  • Join the Fun – Bid on unforgettable auction items, enter the 100-Bottle Wine Cellar Raffle, and play Heads or Tails and more — every game supports a child’s camp journey!

You can still donate, sponsor, or enter the raffle from anywhere.

Why This Gala Matters

Yes it's a camp reunion. And it’s an invitation to invest in the future.

 

For decades Caritas Creek (1975) and CYO Camp (1946) have helped young people discover who they are, form lasting friendships, and connect to the natural world. Today, we’re asking you to pass that gift forward — by funding camperships that remove the financial barrier for children who would otherwise miss out.

 

These programs aren't just ways for kids to fill their summer calendar or check the outdoor education curriculum box— they are retreat built on development curriculum designed to make a real life-changing impact in the life of a child. With fewer public dollars available for outdoor education, your personal generosity has never mattered more.

 

​

Carry the Legacy Forward

 

The Gala Celebration is your chance to:

  • Reconnect with your CYO Camp and Caritas Creek family.

  • Celebrate 50 years of stories and traditions that reshaped what Outdoor Education can be. 

  • Give the next generation their own trail to follow.​
