How Many Summer Camp Sessions Does Camp Gray Offer and What Activities Are Included?

Camp Gray, a Catholic summer camp of the Diocese of Madison, WI, offers 10 sessions of summer camp for campers in 2nd–12th grade. Activities named on the site include archery, climbing, swimming, and the Cassidy Games, alongside outdoor living and Christ-centered community. The exact activity mix can vary by session, so treat the list below as the camp's stated program rather than a fixed daily schedule.

Summer Camp Sessions at a Glance

Because sessions are split across a wide grade range, the experience is likely tailored by age group or theme. The site does not publish a per-session breakdown in the material available, so confirm the specific session that matches your camper's grade before registering.

What Activities Are Included?

The camp's own description highlights a mix of outdoor adventure, group games, and community life:

• Archery — a classic camp target sport
• Climbing — climbing activities on camp grounds
• Swimming — water activity during the session
• Cassidy Games — a named camp-wide game tradition
• Outdoor living — time spent in "God's creation" as a core part of the program
• Christ-centered community — shared faith life and group bonding

A 5th-grade camper quoted on the site, Gianna S., points to this same mix: "I love Camp Gray because I can be myself and the counselors are amazing! Camp Gray has fun activities like archery, climbing, swimming, and the Cassidy Games."

How the Program Is Framed

Camp Gray describes its mission as fostering "an experience of what is real through Christ-centered community, outdoor living, and moments of true joy." It delivers this through an "awesome summer camp program and fall retreats." That framing matters if you are choosing a camp: the emphasis is on community and outdoor experience rather than a single specialty track.

The camp is also described by Bishop Donald Hying, 5th Bishop of Madison, WI, as "a model Catholic camp, looked to around the country as an example of how to manage such a camp and offer quality programming."

What to Confirm Before You Register

• Which of the 10 sessions fits your camper's grade (2nd–12th grade spans a wide range).
• Whether activities differ by session or age group — the site lists activities generally, not per session.
• Whether your camper wants a faith-based, community-centered camp rather than a secular or specialty camp.
• Fall retreats as a separate option if summer dates don't work.
