An Episcopal camp is a wilderness Christian camp that combines a back to nature experience and journey of growth with the renewal of one's Christian faith. This camp is typically set in a tranquil outdoor location like woodlands or a campground. Activities center on the Christian faith, like praise and worship, Bible studies and group discussions. There are also recreational opportunities like hiking, kayaking, canoeing and wildlife watching available in some Episcopal camps. You'll also find a wide array of musical performances like songs and dance production numbers that revolve around Christianity.  

What to Ask the Camp Director: Inquire about the specific lineup of activities offered in Episcopal camps. Find out about the camp counselors and the kind of training and background they have when it comes to handling children in camps. Get to know more about the camp's mission and vision along with how they intend to renew and grow the Christian faith of the participants.

What to Pack: One should pack the necessary camping gear like tents or sleeping bags, as required by the camp staff. As for personal supplies, ensure that only appropriate clothes are brought to the camp. Provocative or overly casual clothes are not allowed.

Supervision: Camp personnel should supervise every activity in the camp, particularly for outdoor recreations like hiking, swimming, canoeing and so on.
