Canoe Trips


The Diocesan Niobrara Canoe Trips down the Niobrara River began in 1995 under the direction of Fr. Ronald Homes. The canoe trips are open to high school youth (seniors, juniors and sophomores) and college students. Adults are also invited along as sponsors/drivers.

Fr. Homes continues to direct the Canoe Trips with the assistance of the Family Life Office. Nearly 200 participants from all over the Diocese partake in one of three different canoe trips. This three-day outdoor adventure includes daily Mass, confessions, talks, private reflection time, and other opportunities for youth to grow in their relationship with Christ. A Campfire, skits and rosary fill the evening hours.

Cost per camper is $85 including T-Shirt
($75 per camper which does not include a T-Shirt.)


2012 Canoe Trip Dates:
Camp 1: July 22-24
Camp 2: July 24-26
