2025 marks the 25th anniversary of the founding of Prairie Star Ranch by Archbishop James Patrick Keleher, as well as twenty-five years of connecting youth and families to Christ and His Church. In light of this moment in our ministry’s history, we are asking Catholics from across the Archdiocese to participate in a study examining the reach and impact of Prairie Star Ranch over the past quarter-century. We aim to gain a more data-driven understanding of our reach throughout the Archdiocese, enabling us to better understand how to remain faithful and effective in our mission of accompanying youth and families into an encounter with Jesus Christ and His Church.

Our philosophy for retreat facilitation is simple. The human heart was created for the story of God’s love, so we walk with our retreatants into that story. We invite you to find out more about our retreats below, each focusing on a unique concept or storyline to help retreatants connect with Christ in new and transformative ways.

Camp Tekakwitha

Camp Kateri Tekakwitha combines demanding outdoor activities with powerful, spiritual instruction bringing about a unique encounter with God. Although our adventure activities are memorable, often the love that campers experience through prayer is what they remember most.  

Camp Tekakwitha

Camp Kateri Tekakwitha is the best of all the things we love: outdoor adventures, powerful prayer experiences, and a high-energy atmosphere that’ll have campers laughing from sun up to sun down. Although the adventures are certainly memorable, it’s the love campers experience through community, new friendships, and the love of the Lord in prayer that they remember most.
