We can't wait for all that is to come this summer at Steubenville and Life Teen Camp!
Steubenville is a dynamic weekend youth conference of community, great Catholic speakers, the Sacraments, and an experience that our Catholic Faith is alive, vibrant, and bigger than just the experience of being at our parish. Thousands of teens from all over the country participate in Steubenville Conferences during the summer, with many locations offered across the US.
We will be attending Steubenville Mid-America Week 2, which is Friday, July 7- Sunday, July 9 at Missouri State in Springfield. This year, we will be adding a night at Marianist Retreat Center in Eureka, MO to take time as a community to rest and reflect on our time at the conference.
We will depart Friday morning, July 7 and return on Monday morning, July 10.
The cost for the weekend is $200, which includes:
-Transportation to and from the conference by charter bus
-Housing and meals (Friday Dinner - Sunday Breakfast) for the weekend, as well as dinner and one night's lodging at Marianist Retreat Center in Eureka
-Two Assumption Life Teen Shirts
-Admission to the Conference
We recommend that teens do bring extra spending money for lunch on Friday and Sunday, as well as for the bookstore during the conference. Housing is in the college dorms and teens will stay in gender specific dorms, sharing rooms with other youth of the same gender from their parish. Adults of the same gender stay on the same floor with the teens to help supervise, while staying true to Safe Environment regulations.
At Marianist Retreat Center, teens will be on gender-specific floors and share a room with another teen of the same gender.
We will have a 1 adult to 8 teen ratio within our group as required by the Archdiocese.

We do recommend that teens bring spending money for fast food stops to and from camp (Monday breakfast/lunch, Saturday dinner) as well as for the camp store, which has great Catholic shirts, gear, snacks and craft supplies. Housing is in lodges or cabins and is gender specific with a 1 to 8 chaperone to teen ratio.
