At Camp St. Bernard, we strive to make sure that each camper feels welcome and at home. We are a family here, and our staff is made up of alumni and current students who have a deep connection to the campus. Every day brings a chance to make new friends, try new things, and spend quality time with familiar faces. We offer a range of activities, from sports to arts and crafts, and our spiritual component is rooted in the Catholic faith but open to campers of all backgrounds. What's more, our meals are cooked by a monk and cater to most dietary restrictions, so everyone is well-fed and ready to have fun.
To ensure that parents can keep up with their children's experience, we take pictures every day and post them in the evening. Our residence halls are cozy and comfortable, and we do our best to accommodate roommate requests. Ultimately, we want campers to feel like they are part of something special at Camp St. Bernard. We are a family, and we invite you to join us!
The typical day is broken up into sessions, as different groups of campers will experience different activities at different times. These sessions have different counselors instructing campers in the proper techniques and safe ways to enjoy the different activities.

Activity Session 2
One of the sessions the campers get to participate in includes team-building exercises. These short activities build teamwork, cooperation, communication, and leadership skills within our campers. They may have to navigate a “river of lava,” work their way through a Giant Spider Web, or talk without speaking…

Activity Session 3
Various water activities go on all week at St. Bernard, including swimming, fishing, canoeing, and Blobbing on our Lake Placid. One of the favorite off-campus activities is spending the afternoon at the Cullman Aquatic Center with diving boards, water slides, and a lazy river.

Activity Session 4
Campers express themselves in different ways, and to make sure everyone has an area in which they can excel, we offer an arts and crafts area where students can learn some of the basics of ceramics with a local artisan. Campers also have an opportunity to make their own candles in the candleshop at the monastery.
