If you’re a former Camp Cross camper, counselor, volunteer, staff, or visitor, you are invited to spend a few days reconnecting with the people and places of Camp Cross. Enjoy some of the all-time classic camp activities.  Take some time to go on a few hikes. Go swimming in the frigid lake. Spend some time in Wells Hall catching up with some old camp buddies. Relive Camp Cross in any way you’d like (within the rules of course).

A weekend for relaxation and spiritual renewal. Join women from around the Diocese and beyond. See all that 100 acres of beautiful land on Lake Coeur d’Alene can offer, or take a cruise on the Lake. Share your experiences with women from all generations, and drink in the beauty of Camp Cross.

Men, give your spiritual life a renewal with ManCamp! ManCamp is a “reboot” of the Camp Cross Mens’ Weekends of previous years, with a new format and new focus. Rest, reflect, and restore your life.

In the midst of busy lives, this is an opportunity for couples to reconnect. Take a nap, go for a hike, or read by the fire. The agenda is yours to set.

Service sessions

Camp’s opening weekend. An opportunity for Camp’s die-hard supporters to get the first glimpse of Camp in the Spring and to begin preparing it for the upcoming Summer sessions. Our motto is simple: Work hard, play hard.

Go to Camp Cross one last time for the year and see it in all its Fall glory. Help pack things away and clean facilities as we close up shop for the Winter.
