Episcopal Summer Mega Camp

The Diocese of West Missouri is happy to announce its partnership with The Diocese of Kansas for this year’s Episcopal Summer Mega Camp.


Camp is 200 Episcopalians in a safe, fun, Christian community. Camp Wood YMCA features a variety of activities such as horseback riding, archery, climbing tower, zip-line, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, watger slide, mud slide, arts and crafts, and sports. There are different fun activities each night, like a carnival, paint-the-counselor, and a talent show. The volunteer Episcopal staff provides Christian education, featuring worship, music, small group discussions, and prayer.


Becoming part of the diocesan youth community can help a young person grow in their faith, stay connected to the church through a developmentally tough time, and make life-long friends. We strive to be an open, inclusive, welcoming, non-judgmental community where young people can find a home-away-from-home. Camp is to those who have finished grades 3-12.


Registration is now open, and more information is available at the link below!


If you have any questions, please contact Fr. David at wemoyouth@diowestmo.org.
