Annunciation Heights exists to be a place of transformative encounter with Jesus Christ, so that those they serve may live life fully for the glory of the Father. They do this by fostering experiences of authentic connection immersed in the beauty of God’s creation.

Nathan Glassman assumed full leadership of the camp at the outset of 2024. Building on the solid foundation laid by the previous director and staff, Nathan has sought to take Annunciation Heights to the next level of awareness throughout the archdiocese and beyond. Nathan and his wife Heather moved to the camp in the spring of 2024.

Summer 2024 marked the fifth summer of youth camp, serving 500 campers in six week-long sessions. Additionally, they served 93 families at family camp over five sessions–the most in one season yet. Furthermore, the camp hosted 44 retreats and conferences with over 2700 attendees on site last year.

The Altum Institute Missionary program welcomed its seventh and largest mission class of 13 missionaries to serve at camp. Additionally, the program is pioneering a new international pilgrimage to Rome and Assisi, where the missionaries will be spending multiple days walking into each of these holy cities as a part of their yearlong formation.

This past year has also shown incredible growth in the “Keepers of the Heights” volunteer program and the Camp Ambassador Program to help serve camp’s needs and spread the word about all the camp has to offer. With the weekly, monthly, and seasonal opportunities to serve, there have been thousands of volunteer hours served this year both here at camp and in the local communities of the archdiocese!

Finally, Camp St. Malo welcomed over 60,000 visitors this year. Additional growth includes the addition of a Sunday Mass at St. Catherine’s Chapel for the months between Memorial Day and Labor Day. To top it off, Tahosa Coffee House saw its biggest year yet, serving more drinks and encountering more souls than any year previous.
