Let’s Get Together in the New Year!
The New Year, 2024, is right around the corner, and we are planning many ways for you to connect with Camp Ondessonk in the upcoming year.
Attend a Lodge Reunion Weekend
Twice a year, active Lodge Members reunite with friends during a weekend of volunteering to complete service projects that help Camp Ondessonk prepare for the next season. These weekends of work and fellowship are free for active Lodge Members. The Spring Lodge Reunion will be April 19-21, 2024. Learn more or register here by April 10, 2024.
Sharing Your Talents
Your skills, talents, or interests can help Camp all year long. There are a wide range of needs and volunteer opportunities, and by donating your time during Summer Camp or as a special project volunteer, you can make a lasting impact for everyone who enjoys Camp. Contact volunteer@ondessonk.com or call (618) 695-2489 x145 to learn more about how you can help.
Adult Lodge Events
We will host at least four gatherings at local area venues to connect with Lodge Members who are over 25. Our last gathering of this kind was hosted at Global Brew in O’Fallon, Ill. Future events could be similar or could offer opportunities to volunteer in support of Camp Ondessonk in your area. If you’d like to help us plan a gathering in where you live, contact Elizabeth Dirnbeck at Elizabeth.Dirnbeck@Ondessonk.com.
Test Your Knowledge at Camp’s Trivia Night
Join us for a night of fun and friendly competition at Camp Ondessonk’s bi-annual Trivia Night March 2, 2024, at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Fairview Heights, Ill. Get ready to test your knowledge and show off your trivia skills while enjoying a fantastic evening with friends. Contact Elizabeth Dirnbeck at Elizabeth.Dirnbeck@Ondessonk.com for more information about this fun event.
View the Eclipse at Camp
We are in the “Eclipse Crossroads of America” again. The Great North American Eclipse passed over Camp in 2017 and will pass directly over us again Monday, April 8, 2024! Whether you stay with us for the weekend or for the four minutes and nine seconds of totality, you won’t want to miss the breathtaking view that Camp Ondessonk offers.

Travel Down the Camp Road
Join us in the New Year for a specialty weekend or to enjoy hiking, mountain biking, fishing, or camping on your own. Don’t forget to stop by St. Noel during business hours, Monday through Friday, between 8:30 am and 5:00 pm, if you’d like to say “Hi!”
