VIRTUS ET VERITAS MINISTRIES

Our Mission

Virtus et Veritas (V2) Ministries cultivates authentic encounters with God & fellow man through adventure experiences and formation in virtue & truth to develop Christ-like leaders.

Virtus et Veritas was founded in 2015 as a week-long summer leadership camp for boys.

The response to the camp was overwhelming!

Spots began filling up in as little as three days!

In 2018, weekend adventures were started to foster ongoing community and formation.

In 2019, two full weeks of summer camp were offered to help meet demand.

In 2021, the High Adventure was introduced as a new annual event serving young adult men.

Parent of Camper

“After camp I saw Jesus more as a friend and someone who desires to have a beautiful, deep relationship with me.”

“Truly the most important week of my son’s life throughout the year.”

Parent of Camper

“Camp Virtus et Veritas is the best thing going for vocations in the Archdiocese, in my humble opinion.”

Father Taylor Leffler, Camp Chaplain

“Our son had a great experience. He was nervous but it was a positive week and he came out of his shell as the week went along… He said he wants to go back, so I take that as a 100% win!”

Parent of Camper

“This was my 5th year at camp and I felt that this was the most spiritually powerful week that I have been to.”
