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.
