Catholic Youth Summer Camp

Damascus Youth Summer Camp (DYSC) registration for next summer will open on November 6, 2025 Many students in surrounding towns as well as some in the Marion community have attended CYSC in the past and have absolutely loved it! Current 5th-12th graders are eligible to attend next summer! You may register individually or together with friends as transportation to Damascus in Centerburg , OH (just over 2 hours away) is not provided.

You may register through https://cysc.com/




About CYSC: CYSC is a premier High Adventure camp filled with high ropes, paintball, blobbing, archery tag, giant swing, dual zip lines, a 5-story climbing wall, and more! The root of CYSC is found in the sacramental life of the Catholic Church and their mission work is anything but boring.



​


CYSC was founded in 2001 as a parish initiative to help young people “live the adventure” of their Catholic faith.  Their mission is to awaken, empower, and equip a generation to live the adventure of the Catholic faith through world-class programs and an environment of encounter.   

  • Challenge yourself with high ropes courses, dual giant swings, ziplines, paintball, and much more. 
  • Each day will include daily mass, reconciliation opportunities, dynamic speakers, sacred art opportunities, engaging small group leaders, worship ministry, adoration, dramas & skits, and outdoor chapel.
  • Wrap up the day with comedy skits, praise & worship, and dance parties. 
  • A great staff to camper ratio leads to lifelong friendships and faith experiences. 
  • Parents can attend a very powerful mass as they pick up their children (don’t forget to arrive a bit early to hear the students’ powerful testimonies!)
