Camp Lawrence Celebrates Everyone’s Favorite Holidays in One Week --Join Us!

Since 1959, Camp Lawrence has been a summer home for thousands of children across the Midwest and beyond. Nestled in nearby Valparaiso, Indiana on 144 scenic acres and two private lakes, Moss and Deep Lake. It is operated by The Northwest Indiana Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) and the Catholic Diocese of Gary. Camp Lawrence blends classic overnight camp fun and themed weeks in an inclusive and welcoming environment for boys and girls 7-14 years old.

Daily life at Camp Lawrence is packed with swimming, sports, arts and crafts, nature hikes, campfires, games, songs and over 66 years of camp traditions. Campers are also able to enjoy modern amenities - AIR Conditioned Cabins, Flush Toilets, Catered Meals and much more.

Join us July 20-26 for Holiday Week. Along with regular camp activities, campers will be surprised with a different Holiday everyday. We’ll celebrate Christmas in July, Halloween, Easter, Thanksgiving and more. There are just a few spots left.

Rooted in Catholic values—kindness, community, and respect—Camp Lawrence welcomes campers of all backgrounds and beliefs.

For families looking to give their children a summer filled with adventure, friendships, and lifelong memories, Camp Lawrence is more than a camp—it’s a second home.
