CHARLOTTE — Young men and women aged 15-19 are invited to attend one of the Diocese of Charlotte’s vocation discernment camps for teenagers this summer.
Quo Vadis Days for young men will be held June 13-17, and Duc In Altum for young women will be held June 27-July 1. Both camps will be held on the campus of Belmont Abbey College.
The five-day Quo Vadis Days camp for young men will include talks by local priests, seminarians and others on the vocations to the priesthood, marriage and fatherhood. Its goal is to challenge young men to ask the fundamental question “Quo vadis?” (“Where are you going?”), while equipping them with the tools and opportunity to discern God’s will for their lives.
The five-day Duc In Altum camp will focus on forming young women in authentic femininity after the role model of Mary. Through talks and time spent in prayer and worship, the hope is that young women will open their hearts to responding to vocations as wives and mothers, consecrated religious or consecrated lay faithful.
Both retreat-style camps attempt to strike a balance between the activity of a summer camp and the quiet of a retreat. Each day is structured to include Mass, the Liturgy of the Hours, Eucharistic Adoration, time for personal reflection and lots of time for fellowship with fellow teens.
Registration for both camps are full. For questions about the camps themselves, contact Father Brian Becker, diocesan vocations promoter, at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or 704-370-3351.
