The Story
It has been quite some time since the Diocese of Washington has had a summer camping program. There are a number of clergy and lay leaders who have Episcopal camping experiences in other dioceses, and these experiences as campers and counselors were instrumental in their formation as Christians and their bonds with the Episcopal Church. In the Fall of 2011, a group gathered and started to imagine what a camping program would look like in our diocese. We recieved a grant that enabled us to hire a consultant, Sue Cromer, who started and continues to run the camping program in the Diocese of Chicago. She advises the Camp EDOW committee, now made up of clergy and lay leaders from all six regions of the diocese, as we plan our camping program.
