Diocesan Day at Camp McDowell
Sat, Nov 16, 2024 10:30 AM - 4:30 PM
Join fellow Episcopalians from around the diocese to celebrate Camp McDowell and help support the Equipping the Saints capital campaign! We'll spend the day in Lower Camp, the beloved home of Summer Camp and the Environmental Center. Come relive memories, see old friends, and enjoy God's backyard.
Equipping the Saints includes two projects in Lower Camp. Eppes is the most-used facility at camp, serving over 60,000 meals each year! This special space is in need of a new roof, additional restrooms, an expanded kitchen, and a new A/V system. The septic system was installed when camp was used only 3 months per year, and now it's busy year-round. It's time to update this essential system to meet camp's growing needs. Please consider a donation to the campaign to support these projects for the next generation of campers.
Please register by November 11!
