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 will be moving with their five children to the camp in the spring of 2024.

Summer 2023 marked the fourth summer of youth camp and they served 507 campers over six week-long sessions. Additionally, in Summer 2023, they served 65 families at family camp over five sessions. The John Paul II Outdoor Lab/Summit School also had its biggest year ever in 2023, serving 909 students in Fall 2023 and anticipating serving 368 students in Spring 2024. Furthermore, the camp hosted 58 retreats and conferences on site last year.

The Altum Insitute Missionary program welcomed its sixth mission class of 11 missionaries to serve at camp. Additionally, the program pioneered a new pilgrimage route from Daytona Beach to St. Augustine, Florida, as they walked 50+ miles to the shrine of Our Lady of La Leche.

This past year has also shown the greatest growth in Annunciation Heights’ volunteer program to help serve the needs of the camp. With the weekly, monthly, and seasonal opportunities to serve, there have been thousands of volunteer hours served this year!

Last but not least, Camp St. Malo welcomed over 50,000 visitors over this last year, Camp St. Malo, and it also saw some significant growth — the Blessed Sacrament is once again reserved full time in the St. Catherine’s Chapel. To top it off, Tahosa Coffee House saw its biggest year yet, and the camp hosted their first annual Advent Market.
