The Official Camp Abbey Page Camp Abbey touched many lives from 1960 -2006 and is back and renewed! Joseph Abbey in cooperation with the Knights of Columbus.

Camp Abbey Retreat Center is a ministry of the CYO/Youth & Young Adult Ministry Office of the Archdiocese of New Orleans. Camp Abbey was originally a Catholic summer camp for children sponsored by the Benedictine community of St. The facility was also used during the academic year for parish and high school youth retreats. After operating from 1960-2006, the camp was closed. In 2010, the Archdiocese of New Orleans leased the property from St. Joseph Abbey and undertook at $4.1 million renovation of the entire camp, making it again worthy for use as a place where young people can develop their relationship with Jesus Christ, each other, and the Church, through retreats and a summer camp program.

Last but not least…our final staff shoutout is our Administration!! 🩷 Our Admin dedicates more than just the month of July to this camp. It takes weeks of preparation before camp even starts. Our program directors make sure every schedule for everyday is planned perfectly, every activity, and everything that makes camp fun! Our JC Coordinators over see our Junior Counselor, working long days and nights, and doing all of the heavy lifting. Our Director and Assistant Director does everything in between, from over seeing our SC’s to making sure every camper is in the cabin they should be. Thank y’all for everything that you do, this camp truly would not be the same without them and is the reason why each camper and staff member loves this place so much!

Today’s staff shoutout is for our amazing girls in blue 💙💙💙 The senior counselors have spent 5 weeks of their summer pouring themselves into every camper they meet. Our SCs are often seen as our campers “moms” for the week as they care for the mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of their campers. It is the selfless actions of the senior counselors that helps make Camp Abbey an experience of a lifetime for our campers. We truly would not be here without the dedicated commitment and sacrifice the senior counselors give each and every day. Thank you senior counselors for your selflessness and love to all those you meet, you are changing lives each and every day 💙💙💙

As week 5 and Camp Abbey Girls Camp 2026 comes to a close in a few short days, we will take time throughout the week to shout out our amazing staff that help keep Camp Abbey the special place it is.

Today we will begin with our junior counselors.♥️ Our second session junior counselors began their time together during week 4. They joined us with a renewed faith and excitement in what was ahead. They have lifted us up and have been a big piece of the joy that Camp Abbey runs on. Their job requires immense selflessness and sacrifice, traits that the JCs do not seem to lack. They put their heart into everything they do. Without our junior counselors Camp Abbey would not be the place it is known for.

Thank you junior counselors for your tireless devotion to the mission of Camp Abbey. You are seen, known, and loved by all ♥️♥️♥️

And just like that we are at the end of week 4!! 🥹What an amazing week of making memories that will last a lifetime 🩷⛱️☀...
