Advance Camp is a rite of passage program that serves campers who are making the exciting important transition from middle school to high school. The purpose of Advance Camp is to build meaningful relationships and provide challenging experiences that will ultimately encourage students as they “advance” to make following Christ the foundation of their lives.

The first few days of the program are spent at HoneyRock where your team will get to know one another and practice basic outdoor technical skills. You will then drive to the Boundary Waters or to the Keweenaw Peninsula. The day begins with a morning devotion and quiet time followed by breakfast. Then, your team will pack up camp and get going for the day! After canoeing to the next campsite (you might see some wildlife along the way!) you’ll set up camp, relax, cook good food, and partake in community worship and discussion. You’ll see the night sky as you’ve never seen it before – maybe even catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights! The final day(s) will be spent back at HoneyRock for reflection and closure. You’ll experience life at HoneyRock and engage with other high school campers.

This is your camper's training ground. At the conclusion of the two years in this program, we campers will be ready to launch out of their homes and into whatever the Lord is calling them to step into next. We want this program to serve as the catalyst for them to make the commitment to walking as faithful influences, who are equipped and ready to navigate the complex world today.

Wyoming Catholic College invites you to join thirty other high school seniors for a week of intellectual and personal discovery at our PEAK Ranch on August 1st-8th. What will you find? You’ve had questions – big questions – about why reality is the way it is. Our faculty-led seminars will guide you to solid answers; drawing from the riches of WCC’s theology and humanities curriculum, we’ll spend the week studying Mary the Mother of God and the Feast of her Assumption.

The Berkeley Changemaker™ track offers international and domestic high school students the opportunity to live on campus and enjoy the summer at Berkeley. Since its inception, UC Berkeley has always attracted changemakers whose vision challenges the status quo and whose contributions make our world a better, more equitable place.

Our curriculum activates our students’ passions and helps them to develop a sharper sense of who they want to be and how to make that happen. Regardless of what interests you, there is a place for you here in our learning community.
