Subscribe to see our posts to keep up with Campamento!
Campamento supports the Hogar Teresa Toda in the Dominican Republic, a home run by Carmelite Sisters for very poor girls. The camp is organized, supported, and run by Church of Saint Edward (Bloomington, MN) parishioners, staff, and friends across the country. This is the 29th anniversary of our relationship. Since 2002, we’ve had over 100 travelers, many return travelers. We’re excited you are considering joining us this year!
“Si Dios quiere”
2025, our relationship continues to grow. The relationship between the home and the parish is stronger with our new Pastor and more parishioners involved in supporting the home and campamento.
If God wants, we will have one week of camp in 2026: July 11-19. We would like to travel wiht a minimum of 6 travelers and a maximum of 10. If we have more travelers interested, we’ll add a second week.
Welcome! Here are links to learn more.

“Goodness always tends to spread. Every authentic experience of truth and goodness seeks by its very nature to grow within us, and any person who has experienced a profound liberation becomes more sensitive to the needs of others. As it expands, goodness takes root and develops. If we wish to lead a dignified and fulfilling life, we have to reach out to others and seek their good. In this sense, several saying of Saint Paul will no surprise us: “The love of Christ urges us on”(2 Cor 5:14); “Woe to me if I do not proclaim the Gospel” (1 Cor 9:16).”
