About

Our Mission:

To encounter Jesus Christ and foster Catholic Christian community through expedition retreats of prayer, proclamation of the Gospel and outdoor adventure.

In 2002 Father Quinn received the mission of CYE. He started with the first expedition on Chambers Island. They hiked, prayed, played, and did all the usual camping stuff. A ministry was born in a spirit of the freedom of the children of God. Some things have changed since then, but the spirit remains. CYE continues to be a ministry for young people seeking God, adventure, and community. Whether on the water or in the woods, on Kangaroo or in the back country, in the silence or the celebration, you’ll find young people relishing in the joy of life with Christ.
