For Boys
The Baraga Youth Fraternity began in 2008 with the mission of bringing dads and boys ages 12-16 together to enjoy the outdoors of the U.P. while receiving Catholic formation in prayer, virtue, and fraternity. The goal is to nurture young men into spiritual leaders who will one day lead their families and parishes as husbands, fathers, and priests. Camping retreats usually include canoeing, hiking, swimming, cooking, and daily Mass, Rosary, talk and discussion.
