Camp Descriptions:

Senior High Youth Conference (SHYC)
SHYC is a camp for high school aged youth focused on giving back to the community.  Campers will live out the “Be Ye Doers of the Word” passage from James.  Expect to challenge and stretch yourself physically and spiritually while having a ton of fun and hanging out with awesome people!  This a great camp for those wishing to grow as leaders.  Bible study, helping others, dance parties and much more will happen during your week at SHYC!

Explorers' Camp
Enjoy the outdoors! Take time to explore the world around us; play in the dirt, go hiking, camping, swimming, and canoeing! At Explorers' Camp, you'll learn how to take care of God's creation at camp and at home. We take the time to look at everything a little closer, to see God in all we do. Campers learn camping and outdoor skills – and have fun doing it all! Spend time outside and discover the world around you and the spirit within you!

Explorers' the Great
This one-session event is for the camper that wants to wander through the wilderness, forage the forest, and breathe in the back country. We will take our camp and ourselves on extended trips into the wild to truly dwell in God's magnificent creation. This camp spends most of its time exploring the natural playground around us.  So sign up, pack up, and head out with Explorers' the Great!

St. Sebastian's Sports Camp
St. Sebastian's Sports Camp is a great place for young athletes to play all of their favorite games while learning the values of teamwork, sportsmanship, and the importance of staying fit.  During the day, campers build fundamental skills and scrimmage in a wide variety of sports, including old favorite standbys like soccer and basketball and newer sports like ultimate frisbee and King Ball.  Evenings are filled to the brim with activities like camp fires, games, hikes, worship, swimming, songs and everything else that makes a week at camp great.  Come to St. Sebastian's to make life-long friends while enjoying your favorite sports!

Art Camp
Express yourself!  At Art Camp we work on projects in a variety of
media, allowing campers to express their individuality and creativity.
We explore how this creativity can bring us closer to God while also
enjoying all the usual camp activities - camp fires, swimming,
games, singing, worship, and more.  You don’t need to be a master
artist, just be interested in creating, having fun and making new
friends.

This year at Art Camp, for the first time, we will have all campers in
camp at once - ages 9 to 15.  If you've been looking for a camp that
your children can go to together, or the youth from your church can
all go as a group, this is your chance.  Campers will be placed in
cabins by ages.  For some activities the camp will be split into two
groups, 9-12 year olds and 13-15 year olds; for other activities we
will have the entire camp together.

St. Elizabeth's Camp
St. Elizabeth's Camp provides individuals with mild to moderate disabilities the opportunity to participate in traditional camp activities in a supportive environment.  Our campers have their own volunteer counselor buddy who will be a constant friend and assist in daily activities. Together they will stay in log cabins and share many exciting activities including swimming, canoeing, worship, art, and fishing.  A typical St. Elizabeth's camper is between 14-25 years old, attends to personal needs independently, and effectively communicates with others. 

St. George's Camp
St. George's Camp is a classic large summer camp featuring hiking, swimming, sports, music, crafts, canoeing, and overnight camp-outs all flavored with dearly-held traditions of zaniness! The heart of St. George's Camp is its focus on the unique and infinite value of every member of the camp community. With I Corinthians 12-27 (we are all essential members of the one Body) as a point of reference we encourage both faith and questions as we strive to celebrate the unique gifts of every camper, regardless of his or her faith background or commitment.

St. Andrew's Camp
Avoid the crowds at St. Andrew's Camp. This is an intimate, "family-style," camp setting offered for children who thrive in an environment with high levels of structure and personal attention. The small number of campers allows kids to be introduced to a camp program that is less overwhelming in size, but still offers camping, art, swimming, singing, sports, and worship together. The camper/staff ratio is 2:1.

Music and Drama Camp
Let your voice be heard! Music and Drama (MAD) is a high-energy camp focused on the preparation of a biblically based musical that features the unique talents of each performer. Campers make the musical their own by learning songs and movements and creating sets and costumes. In addition, we swim, hike, play games, worship and make life-long friends. The oldest session of high schoolers takes their show "on the road". Campers tour around the Shenandoah Valley performing their show, meeting enthusiastic audiences, and seeing a professional musical. Be a star! Join us at MAD Camp!

Camp Alfresco
Are you a young adult in your 20's and 30's who misses the excitement and fun of summer camp? Well, miss no more – we've got the camp for you! Join us on a short camping trip with other Christians your age as we sing, hike, canoe, philosophize, and laugh our way back home. Feel free to bring a friend or significant other to introduce them to the joys of Shrine Mont! For more information call the Diocesan office.

Family Conference
The Family Conference is the summer place to be- whether you are single, married, with or without children. There are activities like hiking, dramatic and craft arts, cookouts, bonfires, swimming, and exploring- not to mention Shrine Mont traditions like relaxing, reading, "porching," enjoying nature and the company of other people. Afternoons are open to enjoy nearby attractions like golf, antique stores, and historic battlefields. Come to share the wonders of Shrine Mont, for the chance to renew old friendships and forge new ones, and grow in our life with the Lord.
