Come build friendships and deepen your faith at EYQC! Join your peers from many Episcopal faith communities in Minnesota. EYQC offers two tracks: a Camper Track (entering Gr. 6-8) and a Peer Minstery Track (entering Gr. 9-12). This year more of our activites will be separated by track. This includes the final camping overnight, plus the Peer Ministers will spend a second night at camping at sites that they backpack into. Throughout the week Peer Ministers will also work through and complete various levels Lyle Griner’s Peer Ministry certification program while at camp, and they will serve as leaders for the Middle School Campers. All students will grow in their faith, friendships, confidence, and sense of giftedness, and in their connection to the outdoors.
This year EYQC will again be at Camp Miller on Sturgeon Lake. This is second summer here. Camp Miller is a ACA-accredited YMCA camp eight miles farther north on 35W from our prior location, Camp OneHeartland. This camp has the most available space and activities for us as we continue to growing each year. These programs include: a climbing tower, a high ropes course, a fifteen element low ropes course, lake front swimming, canoeing, kayaking, sailing, archery, crafts, biking, gaga ball, basketball, and more! All activities will be jointly led by EYQC staff and Camp Miller staff. Camp Miller also has a 40-acre farm onsite and locally sources it's food. This year EYQC will again finish the week together by biking out for a one overnight in tents (all gear provided by Camp Miller). This year our destination is Jay Cooke State Park! Kids will learn to cook for themselves and navigate outdoors. We will also take a bus out for whitewater rafting led by Swiftwater Adventures. We hope you can join us for a fantastic week at camp!
