Each summer, teens from St. Patrick Parish drive to Twin Lakes Christian Center to attend CLI (Christian Leadership Institute). At this camp, the teenagers learn leadership skills, meet new people, and have a great time!
"CLI was a time where I truly felt like I could be myself without being
judged by other people and everyone accepted me as myself. My favorite part was
getting to meet so many people from around Iowa who had the same beliefs as me.
It is just so gratifying to know that I am not alone."

"I thought it was awesome how a bunch of teens were thrown together at the
beginning of the
week, and by the end, everyone
felt that they were part of a family."

"CLI could really be called 'Come, Learn, Imitate' because
the challenge is to take what we learned from all the wonderfully faith-filled
people there and bring it
back home to apply to our everyday lives."
