Summer Camp
Summer Camp can be one of the most rewarding and joyous experiences in a young person's life. It is a chance to disconnect with the distractions of the world and reconnect with God and all that God has made.
We are proud to endorse two different opportunities for Summer Camp this year.
Once again this year we have teamed up with Living Water Ministries to offer summer camp for the young people of the Diocese. While you can choose any week, we have designated Week 5 (July 14-19, 2019) as an Episco Week at Camp Stony Lake. During that week, Eric Travis the Missioner for Youth and Young Adults (and more Episcopal Formation people), will be on staff to offer spiritual formation for the Episcopal students.
Camp Chick offers five sessions of summer camp for folks of all ages who love to sing, hike, worship, swim, craft, play, and boat. What could be better than learning about the love of Jesus with a camp full of friends and Camp Chickagami's world-renowned counseling staff?

Rooted in Jesus
January 21-24, 2020
Atlanta, GA
It's time for the Episcopal Church to come together as disciples of Jesus and take a bold new step into the next decade. Let's spend four days together, talking about discipleship, leadership, evangelism, formation, preaching, and much more-so we can go out and be the Body of Christ.
This conference is an opportunity for those who are interested in: Evangelism, Formation, Mission, Leadership, Communications, Preaching, or Stewardship to learn from some of the best teachers in the Episcopal Church. Formerly known as the Forma Conference, it is now sponsored by a number of organizations including FORMA, Episcopal Church Foundation, Forward Movement, Missional Voices, Evangelism Matters, and other.
