We will not have buses to camp. If transportation is an issue for you, we can help put you in touch with others in your area who are also attending Camp Siena. 

We will provide on transporation during camp to different activities and adventures that the campers participate in.

There will not be an opportunity to make rooming requests. The sites for Camp Siena all house girls with large numbers in one room. We purposely asign small groups based off interests, age and other factors. Our desire is for the young women from throughout the diocese to grow together as sisters in Christ. Because this camp is focused on smaller numbers, this is possible and a true sisterhood is established. This has proven to be successful and we want to help the sisterhood continue to grow.

If your child comes with a group of friends they will have plenty of time together and will not feel seperated from one another but instead will have opportunity to grow their circle. Please encourage your child to include others and be open to making new friends.
