Daily Schedule & Accommodations
Children & parents – seniors, too – may join for more than one day in ‘modified pilgrimage’: praying, confessing, singing, playing, learning catechism – in camp. They also walk short distances along the way, and join in the final events Sunday. Chaplains accompany & minster to the pilgrims in camps; giving ferverinos, personal spiritual counsel, teaching — even offering a Mass later Saturday morning (day-2) than the pre-dawn Mass before the main column steps-off.

Wood Park is where every pilgrim must check-in Thursday, in Lake George Village, and is the location for rendezvous and step-off Friday morning.
