Kurs 2026

This year we are celebrating the United States Semiquincentennial and our citizenship.

Registration for Kurs 2026 is now open.

We are only accepting up to eighty (80) campers this year. Anyone may register starting today. If more than 80 register preference will be given to members of the Polish National Catholic Church.

On June 25th registration will fully close and remain closed. Due to the Camp’s popularity and the need to prepare we will not accept anyone for any reason after that date.

You may register here. If your parish is paying for your attendance you do not need to pay the $25 registration fee. The remainder of the fee is due the first day of camp, July 4th.

This year’s camp fee is the same as last year, $350 for Polish National Catholic youth, $450 for others.

We look forward to seeing you.

Feast - St. Barnabas

The Feast of St. Barnabas is celebrated on June 11 to honor the early Christian apostle known as the "son of encouragement". A Levite from Cyprus, Barnabas was pivotal in the early Church for mentoring Paul, promoting Gentile inclusion, and selling his land to support the poor. He is regarded as a patron saint of encouragement, against hailstorms, and of Cyprus.
