What is Marian Camp?
Encountering the love of Jesus and Mary is at the heart of Marian Camp. Throughout the four days, campers and volunteers are given the unique opportunity to participate in the charism of the Marian Sisters: To do God's will joyfully in imitation of Mary and St. Francis. Under the guidance of a full time chaplain and the Sisters, young ladies are provided with occasions of prayer, the Sacraments, teachings by the sisters, team building, service and a whole lot of fun!

May the peace of Christ be with you! We are beyond glad you are considering to be a pivotal part of the Marian Camp experience. At Marian Camp, the counselors have a beautiful opportunity to be a role model of what it means to be a confident and selfless Daughter of God. We, the Marian Sisters, always look forward to the unique experience that camp brings each summer. Most of all, we always delight in sharing God’s Love through our community’s charism of Franciscan and Marian joy! As a counselor, you would aid us in spreading this charism to the campers. As spiritual mothers, religious sisters are called to be the arms, ears and heart of Jesus in a special way. We are deeply grateful for your desire to help in representing our community and carrying out this task with us. Being a counselor is a commitment. It is more than a service opportunity. It is a time to be formed to fully live as a Beloved Daughter of the Father and be an example to the campers. The following are some duties that are required of each counselor. Please look these over to ensure that you are able and willing to fulfill these requirements. Our faith is the center of Marian Camp. We have listed out some points to give a general idea of how you can be a witness of Christ’s love, while being fully supported by the sisters.
