ABOUT REAL WORLD

FIVE DAYS TO CHANGE YOUR WORLD

Real World is a service immersion camp for high school students to live and learn the themes of Catholic Social teaching by living and learning in community. 

Teens will spend five days living and working in community . They will serve alongside organizations that help the most vulnerable in the Baton Rouge Diocese and New Orleans Archdiocese. They will be immersed in the works of justice and mercy that create a more peaceful world. 

It is a week of fun, prayer, service that helps students connect with organizations in their community and earn 35+ service hours. 

THIS YEAR:

• Real World will begin the morning of TUESDAY, JULY 11 at St. Alphonsus Church in Greenwell Springs and students will travel by school bus to service sites in Baton Rouge and New Orleans. Safety is a priority with trained adult chaperones. Real World will conclude with vigil mass and a family meal on SATURDAY, JULY 15 at St. Alphonsus. 

• The cost is $200 per student - includes all supplies, meals, transportation, and a shirt. 

• Real World is open to high school students and mature rising Freshmen (current 8th graders). 

• Parents will be given an itinerary for the week  (all service locations and overnight stays) at drop off. 

• A detailed packing list will be provided for all participants.
