Connected

30.07. - 02.08.2026

Are you connected yet? 
If not, sign up for our summer camp now! 

Our world needs more connection with one another. Yet the places where new connections can be made are becoming fewer and fewer, or are shifting to the internet. While there are wonderful opportunities to network online, meeting in person offers so much more.

We are delighted that here at the Herz-Jesu-Kloster Steyl, we can provide a place where young people from all over Europe can meet and exchange ideas. 

To this end, we offer a setting where we can celebrate our faith together and start the day together. We’ll also receive inspiration for the day from outstanding speakers, such as Meinolf Wacker, a German pastor and peace activist who has been working with young people on international peace projects for many years. In the afternoon, there will be a wide variety of workshops, including sessions on contemplative prayer, communication, making music together, discussions with nuns, Bible sharing, and creative expression.
