We are excited to return to Life Teen Camp Covecrest for Summer 2027!
Camp Covecrest is a week-long Catholic summer camp where teens step away from their normal routines and spend a week growing in faith, building authentic friendships, experiencing the Sacraments, and having plenty of adventure along the way.
Summer Camp is open to all incoming Fall 2027-2028 high school students in grades 9–12, including Class of 2027 graduating seniors.
☺︎☺︎☺︎ PRE-REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN! ☺︎☺︎☺︎
Before St. Michael can receive our official Summer Camp week, we need to know which weeks work best for our families. When completing the form at the bottom of this page, families will provide their teen's top three available camp weeks. We will use those responses to submit St. Michael's preferred weeks to Life Teen. PRE-REGISTRATION DEADLINE: OCTOBER 1, 2026 There is no payment or financial commitment required to complete this form.
Life Teen Inc. is expected to assign our official week in mid-October. Once our week is confirmed, families will have the opportunity to decide whether their teen can attend and officially secure their spot with the $150 deposit.

Camp Covecrest is Life Teen's Catholic summer camp located in the mountains of Tiger, Georgia.
For six days and five nights, teens have the opportunity to encounter Christ through the Sacraments, prayer, Catholic community, adventure, small groups, and time away from the distractions of everyday life.
Our teens attend camp together as a St. Michael Life Teen group alongside Catholic teens and youth ministries from around the country.
Life Teen assigns camp weeks to participating parishes. Before that happens, St. Michael will submit our preferred weeks based on the availability provided by our families.
As part of the pre-registration form below, you will be asked to provide your teen's top three weeks that they are available to attend.
We expect to receive our official Summer Camp week in mid-October 2026 and will notify families as soon as it is confirmed.
Pre-registration allows us to determine how many teens are interested in attending and which camp weeks work best for our group.
Here's how the process works:
1. Complete the form by October 1. Provide your teen's information and top three available camp weeks.
2. SMA Life Teen submits our top 3 preferred weeks. We will review family availability and use it to determine the best weeks to request from Life Teen.
3. Life Teen assigns our official week. We expect to receive our assigned Camp Covecrest week in mid-October.
4. Families decide whether to commit. Once our week is announced, families can confirm whether their teen is able to attend.
5. Submit the $150 deposit by November 1. The deposit officially secures your teen's spot for Summer Camp. If our assigned week does not work for your family, that's okay! You will not owe a deposit or be financially responsible for the camp cost.
Life Teen Camp Covecrest is a week filled with faith, adventure, community, and opportunities to encounter Christ. Throughout the week, teens will experience:
Daily Mass
Eucharistic Adoration
Daily opportunities for the Sacrament of Reconciliation
Inspiring & Engaging Catholic speakers
Small groups and faith discussions
High and low ropes courses
Adventure activities
Messy games and camp competitions
Dance parties and community
Friendships with Catholic teens from around the country
Free time, recreation, and mountain adventures
A whitewater rafting day sponsored by St. Michael the Archangel
Most importantly, camp gives teens intentional time and space to grow deeper in their relationship with Christ.
Yes! We want to give teens and families opportunities throughout the year to help offset the cost of Summer Camp. We are currently planning fundraising opportunities for both Life Teen and EDGE Summer Camp participants. Funds earned through approved opportunities may be applied toward a teen's individual Summer Camp balance. We also want parents to be part of making these opportunities possible! If you have a fundraising idea or would be willing to help lead or coordinate a fundraiser, please email the Assistant Youth Minister, Julian Saviano [email protected] Parents who actively help lead approved fundraising efforts may also have opportunities for their teen to receive fundraising credit toward camp. For questions about fundraising opportunities or your teen's fundraising balance, please contact: Julian Saviano | Assistant Youth Minister [email protected]
Yes. Life Teen Inc.'s Summer Camp Scholarship Applications open December 1, 2026. Information about the application process and available assistance will be shared with families attending camp once Life Teen Inc. releases details. We also understand that every family's financial situation is different. If you would benefit from a payment plan, please reach out. We would much rather work with your family than have cost alone prevent a teen from attending Summer Camp. Fundraising Questions: Julian Saviano | [email protected] Payment Planning Questions: Daisy Olaya | [email protected]
