What is Rockyvine?

Rockyvine offers a balance of unlimited activity and vital tranquility. From mud pits to messy field Olympics, from flag football to ultimate Frisbee, the opportunities for fun are endless. Adventure, team-building, and outdoor activities are experienced on the ropes course, hiking trails, game field, and indoor gym. Reflection and quiet time can easily be found outdoors at the Stations of the Cross, inside their chapel, or walking through the woods while praying the rosary.

St. John Neumann is attending a Middle School ‘EDGE’ camp week at Rockyvine. All students who will be in sixth, seventh, or eighth grade next year in the 2010-2011 school year are invited to attend.

The cost for the trip is 650.00, and it will include the camp registration fee, meals at camp, transportation, and a t-shirt. Students will be responsible for their travel meals.
