In this episode of All Things … Episcopal, we dive into the unique world of Episcopal summer camp and the ministry of camp chaplaincy. Join the Rev. Clare, the Rev. Karen, the Rev. Casey, and the Rev. Andrew as they share stories from Episcopal Summer Mega Camp, reflect on the sacred work of faith formation, and explore why camp continues to be a transformative space for young people and adults alike.
From camp songs and favorite traditions to preaching under the stars and accompanying young people in their spiritual journeys, our guests discuss how camp creates opportunities for encounter with God that can last a lifetime.

Our Podcasts
We want to introduce the Episcopal Church from multiple perspectives and with different voices, utilizing social media to find out what questions students may have about who we are and what we do. Guest speakers, including college students from around our diocese, are already being scheduled for future sessions.
We do not currently have a physical presence on college campuses in our diocese, but we think podcasting offers a great opportunity to meet young adults where they are and share our faith in a way that is personal, comfortable, and always accessible. We hope that these sessions will be a bridge to connect college students with local parishes and with other young adults.
For more information and to suggest a topic or pose a question, please visit the College and Young Adult webpage. Look for All Things … Episcopal wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts!
