In the shadows of the Benedictine Monastery of Blue Cloud Abbey
lies a vast meandering ravine. Through it runs a spring fed creek
surrounded by trees, wildflowers, and blessed with the songs of a
variety of birds. It is truly "a site to behold," the beauty
of God's creation.
In the midst of this quiet and private setting, the monks of Blue
Cloud Abbey have constructed a campsite, a place of retreat, a sacred
space where the crowning of God's creation, His people, might pause
from the business of life for reflection, refreshment, renewal and
recreation.
 |
The Monks of Mahpiyato (Dakotah word meaning Blue Cloud) invite
you, your family, and friends to share in this sacred space as well as
in the spirit and life of our comunity.
Facilities
Fully equipped kitchen, enclosed dining area, dormitory style
bunkhouse with army cots and bunk beds, newly constructed shower and
bathroom facility, spacious campfire area with wood supplied, and lots
of room for tent camping.
|
Recreational Possibilities
Swimming, fishing, hiking, football, volleyball, softball,
basketball, tennis, and a variety of indoor games in case of rain.
The Monastic Community also invites all those who use the camp
to join them in the celebration of the Eucharist and other times of
prayer if they so desire.
Camp Mahpiyato is ideally constructed for parish groups, youth
groups, scouts, families and groups of families, civic organizations,
clubs, and anybody else. When any group arranges for the use of the
camp it is reserved solely for them, at all other times the camp is
open to all.
