Confusion, Clarity, and Courage: A Formation Pilgrimage
Camp Capers
March 9-12, 2026

“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs are people who have come alive.”
— Howard Thurman
What’s the meaning of your life? Where are you headed? What’s your big dream?
Let’s gather together at Camp Capers, along the Guadalupe River, and explore the meaning of life and your big dreams! We will enjoy good food, some campfires, and some great time together building new and perhaps unexpected friendships.
It will be a time of discipleship and discernment as we seek the movement of God’s Spirit in our lives so we can more fully live and learn into the shape of Jesus’s life and teachings…together.
Who is this vocation and leadership pilgrimage for?
- Traditional or non-traditional college students
- Graduate students
- Emerging professionals
This is a time in your life where you are asking big questions about meaning, belonging, and purpose with greater intensity than at any other time in your life. This is a time when people often yearn for an invitation into deeper discipleship and to discern and talk about what they dream of doing with their lives, the ways to pursue it, and how that connects to their faith.
That’s what this pilgrimage trip is all about as we gather together for a time of retreat and reflection to share our stories, our hopes, our dreams, and our callings.
What will be your takeaways?
- A Deeper Understanding of Discipleship through the Beatitudes
- Meaningful Relationships with Others Around the Diocese
- Tools and Practices of Vocation and Discernment
- Bridge Building Leadership Skills
