Catholic Youth Summer Camp is a program of Damascus. When a permanent home was built to serve as a permanent home for CYSC in Centerburg, OH, Damascus was founded in 2015 as a year-round retreat and conference center providing an environment of encounter for thousands of people of all ages. Learn more about CYSC and Damascus.
In 2021, a team of 5 Damascus missionaries began living in Minnesota and serving in the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis. During the summer, a larger team of missionaries will serve as counselors, activity facilitators, kitchen staff, and everything else that goes into an unforgettable week of camp. Learn more about the missionary program.
