Discovering Joy and Connection at Camp Gray Last weekend, St. Ann School’s 7th and 8th grade students embarked on an unforgettable retreat at Camp Gray, a hidden gem nestled in the breathtaking landscapes of Reedsburg, Wisconsin. Owned by the Catholic Diocese of Madison, this vibrant camp spans 225 acres of natural beauty and serves as a beacon of hope and community for all who visit. A Vision Realized The story of Camp Gray began in 1953, inspired by the heartfelt vision of Monsignor Francis Xavier Gray, pastor of St. Joseph Parish in Baraboo. His dream was to create a sanctuary where youth could escape the distractions of city life, immerse themselves in nature, and connect with their Creator in a safe and nurturing environment. After a quest for the perfect spot, he discovered a pristine 100-acre wooded tract, laying the foundation for what would become a cherished haven for generations.

Families eagerly lined up, ready to dig into fluffy stacks alongside savory sausage and scrambled eggs. But this breakfast was about more than just food; it was a chance for students, parents, parish members, and community friends to connect over shared plates and laughter. Conversations flowed freely, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that felt like home.
