Mega Camp
The Diocese of West Missouri is happy to announce its partnership with the Episcopal Diocese of Kansas for this year’s Episcopal Summer Mega Camp. This is a great opportunity to connect with young people across the Midwest and spend a week learning more about your faith.
Camp Wood features a variety of activities such as horseback riding, archery, climbing tower, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, water slide, mud slide, arts and crafts, and sports. The volunteer Episcopal staff provides solid Christian education, featuring worship, music, small group discussions, and prayer.
Episcopalians have been attending Summer Camp the first week in June at Camp Wood YMCA for over 80 years. Camp Wood is accredited by the American Camp Association–a process that has over 300 safety and quality standards. There are separate age-appropriate Christian education, camp activities, and sleeping arrangements for three age-groups, as well as healthy well-balanced meals with accommodations available for allergies.
