Camp
What is Cor Christi Camp?
Every Summer, Youth from all over Washington gather for a week to retreat from the distractions of daily life and re-center on God, through Daily mass, communal prayer, fellowship, fun, and silent reflection in God’s creation.
We put this camp together in order to invite our youth to a deeper relationship person of Jesus Christ, through encounter with the sacraments and an authentic witness of Christian Servant-leadership.

We have various needs and types of campers while at camp. Please fill out the registration form that best fits you.
- Camper– Students between 6th Grade (Entering this fall) and high school sophomores, hoping to attend camp this Summer.

- Counselor-Thank you so much for considering helping out Cor Christi Camp!! The work we do would not be possible without your help. As we are in the Yakima Diocese you will need to fill out an application AND a background check.

Camp reached capacity last year at 100 campers, so make sure you register early!
There is a registration fee of $70 (ONLY $50 until March 19). This is a non-refundable place holder and goes toward your students total camp cost. The balance of the camper fee must be received by Cor Christi no later than May 31, 2025.
In effort to reach our goal that cost never prohibits someone from attending camp, we have opened registration cost to be transparent and the amount up to your discernment.
The amount it costs us per camper is $350.
The amount it costs us per camper plus an even share of admin and staff costs is $550.
The total camp costs us is just under $60,000, so if you know 10 people with an extra $6,000 lying around, send them our way! 
We work hard to bring in donations to cover the costs of camp. We also strongly encourage local parish and personal fundraising. Some ideas you may want to try are: bake sales, car washes, and baby/dog sitting.
We are able to accept payments electronically. However, we are not able to avoid handling fees, so it will charge a percentage extra.
If you prefer to avoid the handling fee and pay in cash or by check, you can hand it to Mike Drollman or mail to:
1621 Meadowridge Drive, Wenatchee, WA 98801
We accept students entering the 6th grade to students entering Sophomore year in 2025.
Juniors and Seniors who want to be part of camp are invited take on a leadership role as a junior counselor.

Our theme for 2025 is “Eucatastrophe.”
Eucatastrophe is the unexpected grace, the unforeseen turn for the better when all hope seems lost. Inspired by JRR Tolkien we hope to adventure in faith and friendship.
Before Cor Christi Camp-Tammy Loe, mother of 9, heard God calling her to open a Catholic Youth Camp. At the time she did not know what that would mean. After sending her 4 oldest children to a non-denominational camp the kids came back with heavy hearts because they felt “targeted” because they were Catholic. In 2007 the very first Norther Idaho Catholic Youth Camp (NICYC) was held.
Beginning of CWCYC-In 2014 Michael Drollman attended his first NICYC camp as a counselor. Camp changed Michael’s life and he knew that God was asking him to start a camp in central Washington. After several “no”s, Michael finally said “yes!” 2018 brought new blessings and opportunities. In God’s timing, Central Washington Catholic Youth Camp (CWCYC) finally became a reality. A camp location, funding, and volunteers finally lined up. After a wildfire at the originally planned YMCA Camp Dudley we quickly had to move, that summer we had our very first CWCYC camp at YMCA Lake Wenatchee.
Name Change- We are still the same camp but now we go by a simpler name, and one that reflects our ministries better. Cor Christi Camp has continued to grow and serve the Central Washington community, we have been blessed to have enough campers to fill it each year it’s been held.
