2008 SUMMER SCHEDULE
Friday 23rd - Tuesday 27th details
ROCK ISLAND, DOOR COUNTY Young Adult
"Head north up into Door County on this expedition to not just one, but two islands! That's right, we'll be taking a ferry through Death's Door, huffing it across Washington Island (hitchhiking if need be!...the Islanders are friendly!) and taking yet another ferry to Rock Island! Once we arrive, there's plenty to explore like the old light house on the north shore, old Native American carvings and Nordic architecture. Activities on this expedition include: hiking, beach volleyball and ultimate frisbee!"
COMPLETED! It was awesome! VIDEO
Sunday 1st - Tuesday 3rd
NEWPORT STATE PARK, DOOR COUNTY Young Adult
"The best of both worlds! Newport State Park is located on the tip of Door County, WI with access to Lake Michigan and Europe Lake. This expedition will utilize both bodies of water and especially Europe Lake for water skiing and kayaking. We reserved a group site for up to 25 people so sign up fast for this best kept secret of Door County!"
WE DID IT! IT IS FINISHED! VIDEO
Thursday 12th
STEPPIN' RIGHT EXPEDITION Middle School
Holy Family Parish--Brillion
"Strictly for high energy middle school students! This one day expedition will be stationed at Holy Family Brillion but with a day trip to surrounding rural experiences like a hay ride and local county parks. Meet the CYE Staff, get down-and-dirty out in farm country and learn about what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ!"
DESPITE THE RAIN, IT IS AS IT WAS!
Friday 13th - Sunday 23rd details
EUCHARISTIC CONGRESS--Young Adult
Quebec City, CANADA
"Are you serious! Yep, we'll be making this amazing 10 day pilgrimage to the Eucharistic Congress with our new CYE bus! This is what pilgrimages were meant to be--tiring, exhilarating and spiritual. We depart on a midnight S.S. Badger Ferry across Lake Michigan and head up over Mackinac Bridge through Sault Ste. Marie. And that's just the start of the pilgrimage! We stop at the North American Martyrs Shrine, St. Joseph's HUGE Basilica and Catherine Doherty's Madonna House. We end up...hopefully in Quebec City (celebrating it's 400 year anniversary) at a campsite 20 minutes from downtown. Taking a morning shuttle service into the city, we celebrate the gift of the Holy Eucharist and meet young people from all over the world! This pilgrimage is not for the faint of heart nor for cafeteria Catholics, but for high octane-high energy committed Catholic Christians!"
This Expedition was certainly extreme! 2600 miles in the CYE Bus, 54 hours and $1,600 worth of diesel! Not to mention the prayer, laughter and FUN!

Sunday 29th - July 2nd details
KANGAROO LAKE--High School
Door County, WI
"Ya! Visit Door County's inland sand lake at St. Joe's Retreat Center! First time here too! Setting up our tents we'll soon discover that Kangaroo Lake is warm, sandy and awesome for swimming, water volleyball and ultimate frisbee! **Due to insurance costs, water skiing will not be available.** Sit around a mid-summer night campfire surrounded by friends in faith. Day trips to other Door County spots a definite must do--like Clark's Lake, Europe Lake and the old Drive-In movie theatre in Fish Creek!"

Discovering our deep selves!
The Spirit was really present!
Saturday 12th - Tuesday 15th details
SYLVANIA NATIONAL FOREST Young Adult
Michigan's Upper Peninsula
"Headin' north for a true canoeing & kayaking expedition! Sylvania National Forest is often referred to as a "Mini-Boundary Waters" but with 300 sq. miles of lakes and portaging trails I wouldn't really call it mini! We'll be floating our way to a stronger faith and learn a lot from our guide...like how to swamp a canoe and how to make pancakes on a stick! Fr. Schuster & seminarian Patrick will be leading us! Congrads on ordination Fr. Schuster! "
Sunday 27th - Wednesday 30th
