Our Mission

The Mission of Camp Ondessonk is to provide an environment that inspires physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual growth for individuals and groups through the appreciation and stewardship of nature.

Our Vision

The Vision of Camp Ondessonk, a camp founded on the Catholic Faith, is to be the world’s best youth camp. Inspired by positive role models, campers will experience the wonders of God’s creation through adventurous, challenging activities in a unique, rustic environment.

Summer Camp

Summer Camp is Camp Ondessonk's anchor program.  Tens of thousands of campers from Illinois, the surrounding states, and beyond have experienced the wonders of Ondessonk since it was established in 1959.  Most often, they are motivated to participate by the prospect of fun and adventure.  In the end, the fun and adventure becomes eclipsed by something even greater...  measurable personal growth. 

Ondessonk summer campers choose from the following programs:
Traditional Camps- Ages 8-15
Adventure Camps- Ages 12-16
Counselor in Training- Age 15
