Too many young people today are abandoning faith and desperate for hope. Like St. Paul on the road to Damascus, they need an encounter with Jesus to transform them and invite them to become the next generation of missionary disciples.

Damascus seeks to bring that hope to as many youth, young adults and families as possible. Over the last 25 years a humble parish-based effort has grown from 63 campers and a handful of volunteers to a national movement where over 50,000 participants each year are invited to live the adventure of the Catholic faith through world-class camps, conferences, retreats and events.

‍The Road to Damascus Campaign is about bringing this opportunity for transformative encounter with Jesus to the Mid-Atlantic region. This campaign will allow us to purchase, renovate and build the newest home for Damascus Summer Camps at Summit Lake near Emmitsburg, MD, and enable us to reach tens of thousands of youth, young adults, and their families through our new site.

The Road to Damascus Campaign is founded on faith, generosity and surrender to Jesus. Join us with expectant faith in the God who continues to transform lives and raise up the next generation of saints for today.
